Choose weatherproof materials

When choosing a garden table for outdoor use, it is important to select weather-resistant materials that can withstand the elements. Ideal choices include powder-coated aluminium, stainless steel, teak or synthetic rattan, which are not only durable but also UV-resistant and easy to clean.

Practical size and shape

Consider how much space you have on your terrace or in your garden, then choose a lounge table in the right size and shape. Round or oval tables work well in smaller spaces, while rectangular tables often suit larger areas better. Be sure to leave enough room around the table so you and your guests can move about freely.

Consider ease of care

Outdoor furniture is more exposed to the elements and therefore requires regular care. Choose materials that need little maintenance and are easy to clean. A garden table with a smooth surface is easier to wipe down than a model with lots of grooves or corners where dirt can collect.

Style and aesthetics

Your outdoor garden table needs to be functional and aesthetically pleasing, and it should suit your outdoor furnishings. Choose a design and colour that match your style and surroundings. A modern aluminium table is perfect for a contemporary setting, while a rustic wooden table fills your garden with natural charm. Ideally, buy your lounge furniture from the same brand, or coordinate the materials and colours with one another.

Practical size and shape

You should definitely consider whether you would like additional functions for your lounge table to maximise your outdoor comfort. Some tables feature integrated parasols or a parasol hole, fire pits or even built-in cooling compartments for drinks. Choose a table that matches your needs and preferences and enriches your outdoor experiences.
