Outdoor Tables

You can never have enough places to set down your drinks, snacks and games. Whether you need a small space to set your drink and book down when you’re by the pool or a large area where multiple people can eat a meal together, outdoor tables from Ingrams Water & Air can handle the job. From metal and glass to wood and wicker, picking an outdoor table that suits your needs both functionally and aesthetically is easier than you may expect.

How Is an Outdoor Table Beneficial?

An outdoor table offers multiple benefits for a backyard, including the following: 

• Weather resistance: Outdoor tables are built with materials that withstand the sun's rays, humidity and sudden downpours. They won't swell, crack or break easily through many seasons of meals and board games.
• Socialization: Outdoor dining tables encourage social interaction by providing a comfortable and inviting space for people to gather, share meals and engage in conversation. 
• Versatility: These tables can be used for various purposes, including dining, resting, crafts and other recreational activities. 
• Aesthetic appeal: Well-designed outdoor tables can enhance the visual appeal of an outdoor living space, adding to its overall charm and style. 

What Makes a Great Outdoor Table for You?

Picking the right outdoor patio table is crucial. The following are some factors to consider when buying an outdoor table online:

Material 

The material you select will dictate durability, maintenance and style. You can choose from:

• Aluminum: This option is rust-proof, modern and easy to move. 
• Steel: Heavy and sturdy, steel offers a classic look, but can rust if not properly coated.
• Wicker: Wicker is weather-resistant, lightweight, offers various woven patterns and often comes with glass tops.
• Wood: Wood options like teak, acacia and eucalyptus offer natural beauty and strength, but they require periodic sealing to maintain their luster.

Be honest with yourself. Are you a meticulous cleaner, or do you prefer a "hose it down and forget it" approach? Some materials are more low-maintenance than others.

Size, Shape and Height

Choose a table that is appropriately sized for your space. Consider how many people you typically host and ensure there's enough room for chairs or other furniture and comfortable movement around the table. The height of the table is also an important factor. Do you want a standard, counter or bar height table? 

When it comes to the shape of the table, you can decide using these criteria:

• Rectangular or oval: These outdoor table shapes are best for larger groups and long, narrow spaces.
• Round or square: These options are ideal for smaller groups as they promote easy conversation and fit well in compact areas.

Stability

Give the outdoor table a wiggle test to ensure the table is sturdy and won't wobble, especially if you have lively guests or live in a windy area.
