An outdoor dining table near a pool has to survive wet swimsuits, sunscreen, spilled drinks and full sun without warping or staining. These tables are molded from UV stabilized resin, so there is no wood to seal each spring, no glass to shatter and no metal to rust at the welds.
Allow about 24 inches of table edge per person and leave 36 inches of clearance behind each chair so people can push back and stand without stepping toward the water.
Decide on shade before you order. If you want a through table umbrella, confirm the table has a centre hole and pair it with a weighted base. If you would rather keep the tabletop clear, a cantilever umbrella reaches over the table from the side, and an in ground mount removes the base entirely.
Match the table to dining chairs and benches from the same family for consistent seat heights and a coordinated colour palette.
