Outdoor Dining Tables

Why do you need an outside dining table?

Adding an outdoor dining table to your garden is a great way to boost its usability and get more from your exterior space. Whether you have a huge lawn with a choice of seating areas or a petite terrace perfect for BBQs, creating a space where you can eat, socialise and entertain will help you define the different areas of your garden and maximise its potential.

How to find the right outside dining table for your garden

Before you start shopping for your outdoor dining set, it’s important to think about how you’re going to use the space. If you want to host BBQs or al fresco meals on a regular basis, a full outdoor dining table is the perfect choice. Opt for an extending table to make sure there’s plenty of room for all your friends and family.

On the other hand, if you like having informal get togethers, or prefer using your outside area for sunbathing, reading and relaxing, invest in outdoor lounge furniture. Use sofas, armchairs and coffee tables to create a fully furnished outside living room and make a space all the family will enjoy.

Whether you choose an outdoor dining table or outdoor lounge, make sure you protect your exterior furnishings from the elements with an outdoor furniture cover. Keeping the worst of the rain and sun off of your furniture will help it look good for longer.

FAQs

Which material is suitable for outdoor tabletops?

If your table is going to live outside in all conditions, it’s important to choose a tabletop that’s resilient and durable. Stone table tops look good and are incredibly hardwearing. However, they’re also heavy and difficult to move.

Treated wood is a great option for outdoor dining tables. Resistant to rain, sun and wind, outdoor wooden dining sets are attractive, versatile and easy to move into place.

How can I make a small outdoor area nice?

With a little bit of love and creativity, small outdoor areas can look incredible. Place climbing plants along your walls or fences to turn them green and fill plant pots with flowers, foliage, succulents and cacti. Make your small space as usable as possible by investing in an outdoor dining table or outdoor lounge and transform your garden into an al fresco living area.
