Three different ways to mount outdoor picnic tables
provide convenience and maximum security.
Portable outdoor tables can be moved quickly out of
storage and setup to accommodate special events. Municipalities typically use portable
tables to celebrate occasions like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor
Day. Churches also prefer portable
tables because they can be used to quickly set up any type of outdoor
celebration. Both wooden and metal
tables are available to match the décor of the surroundings.
There are also outdoor tables that mount to either the concrete or to
the ground itself. Both of these
mounting options minimize the likelihood of theft. Concrete mounted tables can be fixed to
any patio or sidewalk surface.
In-ground mounting allows a table to be mounted directly to the earth and
fixed in place with a concrete mooring that anchors leg extensions in
place.
Outdoor
picnic table composition makes them weather and vandal
resistant.
Wooden
outdoor tables are treated to make them as weather resistant as possible. Teak wood is one of the most weather
resistant types of wood, and it is also one of the most attractive. Teak tables are ideal for café patios in
places like natural parks, lakes, and vacation resorts. They are also popular with many hotels
because a few teak patio tables can make a swimming pool area look much more
upscale than it actually is.
Other
outdoor picnic tables are made from either plastic or treated metal. The reason for this is obvious. Both plastic and treated metal are water
resistant. Even the best of wood
will become weakened over time with repeated direct contact with water. Plastic, however, is nonabsorbent and
will not deteriorate if rained on.
Thermoplastic coated metal is even better than plastic when it comes
to durability. It has the strength
of metal, but it also has the nonabsorbent, corrosion resistance of
plastic. Thermoplastic is a special
material that is electrostatically applied to magnetically bond it to
metal. If it is deliberately cut as
an act of vandalism, it can be repaired with a simple heat gun. Thermoplastic coated outdoor tables will
neither fade nor rust no matter how much direct sunlight or rain strikes their
surface.
Outdoor
picnic table designs are so diversified now they can
accommodate the seating requirements of any outdoor
environment.
There
are a wide variety of shapes to accommodate the unique outdoor requirements of
public parks, school playgrounds, city squares, and churches. Most organizations prefer an outdoor
table with some kind of bench seat design.
This design features seats that are built into the frame of the table
itself. Shapes include circular,
rectangular, oval, and octagonal table tops. Selecting the most appropriate size and
shape table should be based upon the number of expected occupants per table,
exterior architecture, and landscape design.
The
most notable designs on the market now are outdoor
picnic tables designed specifically for children. Children often get excited when they sit
too long at a table. There is
always the risk of them jostling against the side of the tabletop or even
falling off their seats.
Consequently, children’s tables feature lower bench seats and rounded
table tops that minimize the risk of injury in either event.
