Why choose a wooden garden table?

Looking to buy a wooden garden table?

A high-quality garden table is an essential element for any outdoor space. It not only provides a functional surface for dining and socializing, but also adds a lovely look to your garden. At Loungesetland, we take pride in our range of wooden garden tables that are not only beautiful, but also durable and weather-resistant. In this article, we discuss the best wood for a garden table, how to protect wooden tables outdoors, and how to determine the right size for your garden table.

What is the best wood for a garden table?

When it comes to wooden garden tables, the type of wood used is crucial for durability and longevity. There are several types of wood often used for garden tables, such as oak, cedar, and teak. While each wood has its pros and cons, teak is widely considered the best wood for outdoor furniture because of its natural oils, which make it resistant to water, rot, and insects. For this reason, we at Loungesetland only sell teak garden tables. Our teak garden tables are known for their durability, and they are designed to withstand all seasons.

 

Can a wooden table stay outside?

Many people wonder if wooden tables can be left outside. The answer is yes, but the wood must be properly maintained. Different types of wood react differently to outdoor conditions. Teak, for example, is naturally resistant to decay, requiring little maintenance, while other types of wood, such as pine, must be regularly treated with protective coatings. At Loungesetland, we recommend using a furniture cover when the table is not in use to protect it from rain, sun, and other weather conditions. 

How do you protect a wooden table outdoors?

Our wooden tables are designed to withstand all seasons and will naturally discolor over time, which adds to the charm and authenticity of the product. If you wish to maintain the original color, it is possible to order a teak treatment product with your table and maintain the table this way. When you maintain your teak garden table at the beginning of each season, this table will easily last 5 to 10 years. 

How big should a garden table be?

The size of your garden table depends on several factors, such as the size of your outdoor space, the number of people you expect to entertain, and the type of activities you plan to do. At Loungesetland, we offer a wide range of teak garden tables in various sizes to suit any outdoor space. A good rule of thumb is to allow 61 cm per person. Therefore, a table for six people should be at least 183 cm long to dine comfortably. 

Conclusion

A wooden garden table is an essential addition to any outdoor space. At Loungesetland, we offer a range of teak garden tables that are beautiful, durable, and weather-resistant. When selecting a wooden table, it is important to consider the type of wood used, how you protect it outdoors, and the right size for your outdoor space. With these factors in mind, you can enjoy your wooden garden table for years to come.
