About Picnic Tables products
The best picnic tables fit in with their surroundings and bring an added level of functionality to an outdoor space. They're most commonly found in parks and public spaces and are especially good for families and large groups to share meals in an easy and convenient way. Picnic tables are an important part of a wider range of high-quality solutions for urban spaces. Picnic tables are one option among the outdoor tables and chairs available for parks and public spaces.
Types of picnic tables
While most picnic tables have a similar layout, there are several types available.
Public picnic tables
Picnic tables for public parks are the type most are familiar with. They always come with a way to secure them and are made of robust materials to handle the weather in Australia.
The same robust construction also suits a picnic table in the woods, where changing weather and uneven ground expose the surface and fixings.
Accessible picnic tables
Accessible tables leave room for wheelchair access. It could be a gap in between one of the benches or adequate space at the end of the table. A childrens picnic table provides seating at a scale suited to younger users in play areas.
Central leg tables
Central leg tables involve a picnic set that’s attached by one system in the middle. The pole that supports the table will also have beams that hold up the two benches.
Foldable
Some picnic tables are foldable, which means the benches can be cleared away to make more space. Others might have legs that collapse or can be raised vertically to store against a wall.
The advantages of high-quality picnic tables
High-quality picnic tables make outdoor spaces more functional. They prioritise superior materials in construction like treated wood and sturdy bases which makes them easier to maintain and long-lasting. For those that are portable, flexibility and practicality are key priorities. They will be precisely designed to fold away easily, with materials that are strong but lightweight. High-end models will also feature more sophisticated designs, with aesthetics that will elevate and enhance a space as opposed to clash with it.
How to choose a picnic table that’s right for you
Measurements, material and seating are your three crucial criteria for choosing picnic tables. Thinking about where you’ll install the set and how it will attach to the ground will also influence your decision. A central leg table is a convenient option for easy installation without too many holes in the ground. If you don’t need to secure the table, a traditional set, accessible table or folding one might suit your needs. Lightweight or heavyweight wood is a consideration for those that need something to blend in. Public park picnic tables need to be practical, comfortable and able to withstand the elements. Aesthetics are also key with some park designers choosing to coordinate their choices with other nearby features like playground equipment. A patio table with bench seating can suit a private outdoor area where fixed seating is unnecessary.
