Outside Garden Furniture - Picnic Tables
Out of doors Yard Furniture for instance picnic tables comes in many different shapes and sizes. There exists the climb in models or the walk in models. Some have backrests and some dont. Some are four seaters, some are 10 seaters and some are round or octagonal. The choice of design is endless basically and limited only by your imagination. A property, in my opinion, is incomplete with out one and many a day might be spent by using this very cost effective, yet versatile piece of Outdoor Yard Furniture called a picnic table.
They are able to be made from various timber but i have found CCA treated Pine to generally be one of the most cost effective. Provided the wood is treated to a minimum of an H3 level, the picnic table will last a number of years in the rain and sun. H2 is what's generally available from the timber yard considering they are providing mainly to the roofing trade, however H2 isn't treated enough and can rot. H3 is your ordinary decking material and is appropriate to remain outdoors exposed to the elements. We can however manufacture them out of whatever timber you require, however some timbers do become cost prohibitive, unless you might be working with a uncapped budget.
Our greatest sellers would be the walk in design with or without backrest. The walk in allows you to slide along the chair with out having to climb over the seat to get your feet in. This walk in does on the other hand take up a bit more space than the climb in but are, in my opinion, much more comfy and is that which you usually come across in most pubs through South Africa. The walk in with backrest takes up significantly more space than the ones without the backrest, but do allow you to lean back of course. They also need to be accessed from either side instead of climbing over the seat. They can be made with an attached bench, the most popular, or with a detached bench. The ones with detached benches are sometimes used indoors too as breakfast tables. In this instance one might want to consider using a timber other than pine to give it a cleaner and more appealing look than pine.
Our picnic tables are generally made from stock that is 30mm thick and 100mm wide although this can vary from 23mm thick to 110 wide depending on how much machining needs to be done to get the wood to planned on all four sides.
Screw holes are covered using clear epoxy mixed with saw dust to match the colour and they are then sealed in a choice of colour using a good quality timber preservative. Timber preservative keeps maintenance to a minimum as there is no sanding that is required. When it comes to time to re-seal simply clean and apply 2 or 3 more coats. Applying varnish type coatings will result in the coating peeling and flaking over time and all of it will need to be sanded off which is near impossible.
Again we do not produce these tables in flat pack as they simply wont last. They are pre manufactured in our factory and then transported to site.
A similar design is also available in a kiddies size and can be painted in bright colours rather than a wood stain effect.
