Outside Lawn Furniture – Picnic Tables

Out of doors Garden Furniture for example picnic tables comes in numerous shapes and sizes. There exists the climb in models or even the walk in units. Some have backrests and some don’t. Some are 4 seaters, some are 10 seaters and some are round or octagonal. The choice of style and design is infinite actually and constrained simply by your creativeness. A lawn, in my opinion, is incomplete with out one and many a day is going to be spent utilising this particularly cost effective, yet versatile piece of Outside Garden Furniture often known as a picnic table.

They could be produced from many different timber but i have found CCA treated Pine for being by far the most cost effective. Provided the wood is treated to at least an H3 grade, the picnic table will last a lot of years in the rain and sun. H2 is what is commonly readily available from your timber yard considering they are selling largely to the roofing market, but H2 is not treated enough and can rot. H3 is your basic decking material and is appropriate to remain outdoors exposed to the elements. We can however produce them out of whatever timber you require, but some timbers do become cost prohibitive, unless you happen to be working with a uncapped spending budget.

Our biggest sellers are the walk in unit with or with no backrest. The walk in permits you to slide along the chair with out having to climb over the seat to get your feet in. This walk in does nonetheless take up a bit more space than the climb in but are, in my opinion, far more comfy and is that which you usually find in most pubs around South Africa. The walk in with backrest takes up much more room than the ones without the backrest, but do allow you to lean back of course. They also need to be accessed from either side instead of climbing over the seat. They can be made with an attached bench, the most popular, or with a detached bench. The ones with detached benches are sometimes used indoors too as breakfast tables. In this instance one might want to consider using a timber other than pine to give it a cleaner and more appealing look than pine.

Our picnic tables are generally made from stock that is 30mm thick and 100mm wide although this can vary from 23mm thick to 110 wide depending on how much machining needs to be done to get the wood to planned on all four sides.

Screw holes are covered using clear epoxy mixed with saw dust to match the colour and they are then sealed in a choice of colour using a good quality timber preservative. Timber preservative keeps maintenance to a minimum as there is no sanding that is required. When it comes to time to re-seal simply clean and apply 2 or 3 more coats. Applying varnish type coatings will result in the coating peeling and flaking over time and all of it will need to be sanded off which is near impossible.

Again we do not produce these tables in flat pack as they simply won’t last. They are pre manufactured in our factory and then transported to site.

A similar design is also available in a kiddies size and can be painted in bright colours rather than a wood stain effect.
