Outdoor Tables and Counters

Do you want to turn your backyard into your own personal paradise? Adding a table or counter to your outdoor space can transform it into an entertainer's dream. Choose from top-quality tables and counters to equip your outdoor space for anything from game nights with friends to alfresco dining with the family. 

How Do You Pick the Perfect Outdoor Table?

When comparing outdoor tables, you want the ideal fit for your space. A few factors should play into your decision:

• Shape and size: Think about proportions. Too big, and your table could hang over your deck. Too small, and you'll have a table that suits tea parties with imaginary friends instead of real ones. It's also best to stick to shapes that make sense, like a square table for a square patio. 
• Leg compatibility: Consider the surface your table will sit on. Skinny table legs are fine for solid surfaces, but they could get trapped between decking or disappear into soft ground. If that sounds like your setup, opt for a table with wide legs. Bonus points if they have levelers so you can adjust them to the perfect height.
• Number of guests: Some call fitting a group of 10 friends around a four-seater table cozy, while others call it too close for comfort! Consider how many people you want to entertain regularly. You can always throw in folding chairs for flexible seating. 
• Materials: All of our outdoor tables and counters are ready for the elements. That said, materials and maintenance should still play a part in your choice. If you adore the natural charm of wood, prepare for a little extra care and invest in a waterproof cover. Metal or plastic are more low-maintenance options. 

Which Outdoor Counter Suits Your Space?

The right counter for your backyard depends on the available space, layout and what you plan to use it for. Ask yourself a few questions to narrow down your options. 

How Much Space Do You Have?

If you're seating people around a counter, we recommend around 3 feet of space around all sides to avoid cramping your guests. Measure the length and width of your outdoor space in feet. Subtract six from each measurement, and the final number is how much space you have for your bar set. 

Which Material Is Right for Your Needs?

Outdoor counters need to be able to endure rain, shine and overexcited pets. If you want a low-maintenance option, think about materials and plan accordingly. You'll also want to consider aesthetics. Wood offers rustic charm, while metal gives a sleek, modern look. For your ideal setup, pick an option that balances style with ease of care.
