Garden tables suit balconies, terraces, patios and outdoor dining areas. Choose from models for hosting family and friends, bar tables for relaxed settings and compact side tables to place beside chairs or sun loungers.
Before choosing, measure the available space and leave enough room around the table to walk past and pull out chairs comfortably. Consider the shape of the area and how many people will regularly use the table. Check that its height and frame suit your chosen seating, and place it on a stable surface.
Wood such as pine and acacia creates a natural feel, while aluminium, steel, plastic, glass and synthetic rattan complement contemporary styles. Consider exposure to sun and rain, follow the care guidance for each material, and cover or store the table when it is not in use.
