Outdoor Canteen Tables

• Yes, you can put a solid wood table outside all year round
• The wood needs to be a suitable outdoor wood like Iroko or teak alternative
• The oils in the hardwood wood slow down the rotting process

The standard height of an outdoor table is around 75 cm. Different products come in slightly different heights. The 75 cm allows enough room for your legs when sitting on a 45 cm high bench or outdoor chair.

If you want to use a high outdoor canteen table these start around 110 cm high and can only be used with seating like outdoor bar stools.

To put an outdoor table on grass in the summer is fine but if you need to use your outdoor tables all year round you will need to place the tables on a hard surface like concrete or a wooden deck.

If you place outdoor tables on grass:

• You will need to move the tables every time the grass is cut
• The legs will sink into the ground over winter and will become unusable
• Wood tables will soak up more water from grass than a hard surface
• The grass under the tables will wear quickly and become unsightly

Our outdoor canteen tables are available in a range of materials, including galvanised steel, powder-coated metal, wood, solid core laminate, fibreglass and polyester, FSC-certified hardwood, and aluminium. These materials have been chosen for their strength, durability, and ability to withstand commercial outdoor use.

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water will help maintain the finish. Wooden tables should be oiled periodically, while metal tables may need occasional touch-ups to protect against rust. Covering or storing your table during harsh weather will further extend its lifespan.

Yes, bulk orders are available. Our team can advise on lead times, delivery schedules, and any bespoke requirements to ensure your outdoor space is equipped efficiently. Get in touch with us for more details.
