Expanded Metal Picnic Table

Why are expanded metal picnic tables called “expanded?”

The term refers to the way the steel in the table is made. It is called expanded because it features 9 gauge galvanized steel that is woven together in a criss cross pattern. The criss cross design makes it amazingly strong, but the larger spaces in the metal make it a lot more lightweight than perforated metal or diamond pattern designs.

Is this the lightest weight table you have?

No, the wire design models are lighter, but they are not as strong. Pound for pound, and based on design versus actual weight, this is your best option in terms of getting a tough table that can take the elements, but one that uses less actual steel and is therefore much cheaper than many other styles with more actual metal surface area.

Where is the best place to install an expanded metal picnic table?

Most organizations buy more than one, and many organizations combine different model types. There are round models, rectangular models, and octagonal models that are popular. Designs are complimentary and can be combined in decorative arrangements in areas needing quite a bit of outdoor seating.

How do you mount these tables?

You can mount any of them in-ground, to the surface of concrete, or you can order portable models. Portable models can be adapted to mount permanently if you change your mind. Many people like to buy a few portable rectangular tables that they can install, rearrange, and put back into storage conveniently.

Who normally needs to have multiple tables, or even multiple models of tables?

Any organization that needs to offer its employees or clients comfort and décor in an outdoor setting. A few examples follow:

• Senior Citizen homes- residents like to talk and play games outside, and with optional shade umbrellas, can enjoy shielding from the sun.
• Schools- students can eat or study outside to take a break from being in a crowded building. If there are no large trees, sun umbrellas can be installed to provide shade.
• Homeowners Associations- HOA’s are always trying to get residents to do things. Hosting outdoor parties and making everyone happy is a great motivator for compliance. Portable expanded metal picnic tables are especially popular with homeowners associations.
• Many municipal buildings use them when benches alone will not provide enough seating for citizens, employees, or visitors to the location.

Will expanded metal picnic tables rust?

No. They are coated with a tough material called thermoplastic that is resistant to fading, discoloration, peeling, and corrosion.
