Outdoor areas are no longer an afterthought; they are a critical part of how restaurants, hotels, and campuses welcome and engage people. Whether it's a café patio, a student courtyard, or a hotel lounge, outdoor dividers make these environments more comfortable, organized, and visually cohesive.
SelectSpace Partitions are designed to define boundaries without closing guests off, creating outdoor spaces that feel both open and intentional.
1. Create Defined and Inviting Outdoor "Rooms"
Outdoor dividers are the foundation of a well-organized space. By strategically placing dividers around seating or lounge areas, you can establish structure and flow while maintaining an open-air feel.
Design for comfort: Separate tables or gathering areas to reduce noise and improve the sense of personal space.
Blend with your environment: Available in a range of colors and patterns, SelectSpace systems complement both traditional and modern architecture.
Easy to reconfigure: Modular designs allow layouts to evolve with changing seasons, events, or operational needs.
The result is a space that feels more comfortable for guests, functional for staff, and visually consistent with your brand.
2. Define Functional Zones for Restaurants, Hotels, and Campuses
Outdoor dividers play an important role in creating flow and organization across commercial environments.
Restaurants and cafés: Separate dining areas from sidewalks or service zones while enhancing your streetside presence.
Hotels and hospitality venues: Create elegant boundaries for pool decks, rooftop lounges, or outdoor event areas.
Campus settings: Divide outdoor gathering areas, walkways, or seating zones to improve aesthetics and comfort for students and visitors.
Each configuration is built from lightweight, rust-resistant aluminum panels in standard 3-, 5-, or 7-foot lengths, supported by durable bases.
3. Add Privacy and Comfort with Design Intent
In high-traffic settings, people appreciate a sense of separation from busy crowds while still being able to people-watch. Outdoor dividers provide that balance.
Right-sized visibility: At approximately 34 inches high, SelectSpace panels define boundaries without obstructing sightlines.
Design cohesion: Circle or square-weave patterns create rhythm and transparency, maintaining openness while adding structure.
Integrated planters: Optional planter stands introduce greenery and visual softness to urban or institutional environments.
Flexible configurations: Panels connect easily with poles or planters, turning open areas into well-defined, welcoming spaces.
SelectSpace dividers enhance comfort, encourage natural movement, and create a sense of place—without building walls.
4. Choose Durable Materials That Perform Outdoors
Outdoor dividers need to withstand constant use and exposure to the elements. SelectSpace systems are engineered for lasting performance.
Aluminum panels: Resist rust and corrosion.
Stainless-steel bases: Provide strength and stability on uneven surfaces.
Exterior-rated powder coating: (AAMA 2604/2605 compliant) ensures color longevity and protection from sun, salt, and rain.
Adjustable leg levelers and optional bolt-down features make setup simple for permanent or semi-permanent installations.
The result: a clean, professional appearance that stands up to daily use season after season.
5. Extend Functionality and Enhance Experience
Modern outdoor dividers do more than separate space—they help shape experiences.
Add planters for more privacy or create visual interest.
Incorporate branding with laser-cut graphics or custom colors.
Improve safety and organization by directing foot traffic and controlling entry points with optional gate sets.
Every element of a SelectSpace system is designed for both form and function—easy to maintain, simple to reconfigure, and built to elevate outdoor environments.
