Picnic Tables
Picnic tables are the perfect gathering spot for backyard picnics. They are built in different styles and from different materials to suit your needs.
Styles and Features
Picnic tables come in a variety of styles. There are even children's sized picnic tables which offer the same durable construction. For a real change of style, look at a picnic table with a round or square table top. Instead of just two benches, they come with four benches, surrounding the table on all four sides. Also, some picnic tables are wheelchair accessible; the table top extends past the length of the benches for easy access.
Metal Picnic Tables
Picnic tables made with galvanized steel framing are built to last. Many are sealed with a plastic coating that makes them rust resistant and easy to clean. Metal picnic tables are the most common type of picnic table and come in many styles. They are constructed from steel or anodized aluminum.
Wooden Picnic Tables
Who could resist the charm of a backyard picnic set on a wooden picnic table? Wooden picnic tables can consist of wooden tabletops on steel frames, or all wood. Durable and beautiful, many wooden picnic tables are made from cedar because it resists rotting and repels insects. Wooden tables should be treated with a weather proof finish, and will require periodic refinishing to keep them in top shape. You can paint or stain them in any shade you wish. Wooden picnic tables stay cooler in the hot summer sun because wood does not conduct heat like plastic or metal.
Recycled Plastic Picnic Tables
Plastic picnic tables are designed to be maintenance free. Made from a recycled plastic polymer, this type of picnic table will never warp, rot, splinter, rust, or crack. It will never need painting, staining, waterproofing, or sanding. Plastic picnic tables generally wipe clean with a little soap and water and are very family friendly!
Whatever the size, type, or style, picnic tables allow families to enjoy years of backyard food and fun. |
