How can I decorate a wooden outdoor dining table?


Any photos/ideas/tips/equipment would be great. It's pine wood and it needs to be waterproofed after. My mum and I both have very conflicting ideas so anything is welcome!

Get a bit creative

If the table has been outside for a while you should give it a quick sand down then a wipe clean, After this you can do anything you want, stick stuff to it, paint designs or patterns on it, stain it, varnish it etc. Without seeing the table and the setting it is hard to come up with any specific ideas.

A few things to remember.

Before painting on the wood you should always prime it with a wood primer (available at any good hardware store). Then you can paint anything you like on there, patterns, stencils, block colour etc.

you could stain the wood to change its colour, but retain the natural look of the grain. Only do this on plain wood, i.e.previously untreated or painted. As other wise you will get an uneven colour.

once you have decorated the table finish off by putting at least two coats of yacht varnish on (again available at any good hardware store) The yacht varnish will protect the table from the weather and give it a nice sheen. I can advise applying the yacht varnish with a piece of sponge rather than a brush, cut the sponge into the shape of the brush head and use it as you would the brush. It will provide a smoother finish. It is also wise to apply the varnish indoors as it will prevent anything contaminating the finish, such as dust and leaves blowing onto it and getting stuck.

Picnic Table Sets For Different Lifestyles

Picnic table sets can be a fun way for family and friends to enjoy a meal, games or fun outside in the fresh air. Depending on your lifestyle and reasons for owning a picnic table set, there are different options of picnic table sets to meet your various needs.

Picnic table sets come with either detached or attached benches. If you prefer a table with the ability to adjust your distance from the table or increase the amount of people able to sit at the table, you may want to purchase a set with separate benches. Extra seating for the ends of a rectangular picnic table may need to be purchased separately.
If your picnic table set is going to be used commercially or be exposed to heavy use, aluminum or metal picnic table sets would be the right choice. These sets are usually on the more expensive side, but they are very efficient for long-term outdoor use. Concrete picnic table sets are another useful investment for commercial or long-term outdoor use, as they are usually reinforced with steel and usually require little maintenance other than cleaning. These tables can take a lot of stress, weight and abuse and they are also theft proof because they are extremely heavy. When purchasing a picnic table set for commercial use, an umbrella hole in the center will be useful for blocking sunlight and rain.

Wooden picnic table sets are the perfect fit for any family to place in the backyard or on a patio. Red or white cedar wood will not rot or decay due to the rain or sunlight and is a good choice for a long-lasting family picnic table set.
For a fancier look, a glass-top picnic table set may be the right choice. Glass top sets are usually set on a wrought iron or wicker base. These sets can also be used either indoor or outdoor but they also require more care such as polishing and cleaning.

Picnic table sets made especially for children can also be purchased. These can be made of wood, aluminum or plastic in the rectangular, octagonal, or round design. Some sets can be purchased with pictures or designs imprinted on the table top to help them learn while they play and many come with umbrellas to protect children from the sun.

Picnic table sets can also come in a wheel chair accessible design. These tables can also be any shape from round to rectangular. Many rectangular picnic table sets have an extended table to fit a wheelchair and the round tables leave out one bench setting to accommodate the handicapped individual. These tables also come in any material from metal to concrete to wood.

For families or individuals who prefer change, many picnic table sets can come in a foldable design which can be transported easily and set up efficiently. These tables are great for camping, picnics and extra seating for holiday meals. These sets come in metal and/or plastic designs and can come with attached or detached benches.
Whatever the use, a picnic table set can fit your family or establishment's lifestyle with ease and efficiency.

This Bamboo Picnic Wine Table from Tovolo is a groundbreaking answer to your picnic needs. This table features two slots- one at either end- meant to slide your wine stems in, suspending your wine glasses from the table. No more crying over spilled wine! This table can be pushed into almost any type of ground, from grass, to sand or dirt, and is aesthetically pleasing, made of handsome bamboo. Bamboo is not only attractive and rich-looking, it is environmentally friendly. A renewable, fast growing resource, bamboo needs no replanting, making it a great alternative to other woods.

Roughin' it isn't so tough with Tovolo's bamboo outdoor wine table. Perfect for outdoor concerts, camping, or lazy afternoons in the backyard, the table has an oblong top with a narrow cut-out at each end to hold stemmed glassware. In between, there's room for small plate of cheese, a few special desserts, or a deck of playing cards. The center leg on bottom pushes easily into the ground to give the table a secure and steady hold. To transport, just unscrew the leg and toss the two pieces into a backpack or wicker basket. The bamboo has handsome markings, and it's a sound ecological choice because it is fast growing and renewable. What a win-win situation! When assembled, the table measures 8 by 16 by 14 inches, and drops to just 1 inch deep when taken apart. Simply wipe to clean. --Kara Karll

Description

The Strathwood folding armchair set includes two well-designed folding chairs. They are an elegant way to be ready for extra guests, and the chairs can easily be put away when not in use. Not only are they handy, but they are comfortable, too, and the set arrives fully assembled. Combine these chairs with the Strathwood 28-inch folding table for a great little setting that can be easily stored away. The folding chairs are made of kapur wood, an all-weather wood that is dense and durable. Kapur requires no finishing and will not rot when left outdoors, where rain and sun will damage other, lesser-quality woods. Left untreated, kapur will weather to a soft, warm shade of gray similar to that of weathered teak. The original color can be maintained by applying a seasonal coat of teak oil. Sturdy mortise-and-tenon construction provides the highest-quality joinery, which will last for many years.

Features

  • Set of 2 folding chairs for outdoor use
  • Made of durable, all-weather eucalyptus hardwood with warm, mahogany brown tone; no assembly required
  • Mortise-and-tenon construction with rust-resistant hardware; slatted seat and back with tilted angle for maximum comfort
  • The height from the floor to the top of the arm rest is 25.39 inches
  • Each chair measures 23.82 inches deep by 20.27 inches wide by 36 inches high; weighs 17.63 pounds
