Garden table

What are garden tables?

A garden table is a functional and decorative piece of furniture specifically designed for outdoor use. It often forms the central element of a patio, balcony, or garden and is indispensable for outdoor dining, relaxing, or gathering with friends and family. Garden tables come in countless sizes, shapes, and styles. From compact round side tables to spacious rectangular dining tables for large gatherings: every outdoor space calls for a suitable garden table.

Garden tables are made of weather-resistant materials that can withstand sun, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Think of robust Corten steel, lightweight aluminum, durable hardwood, or high-quality polyester. These materials ensure that the table lasts for years with minimal maintenance. At Planten247, you will find a carefully curated assortment of garden tables that are not only practical but also contribute to the appearance of your garden or patio.

A good garden table is more than just a surface to place things on. It is a place where memories are made: during a summer barbecue, a family game night, or a cup of coffee in the morning sun. The right garden table enhances the comfort and experience of your outdoor space and contributes to a harmonious design. Whether you choose an industrial look with steel or a warm, natural appearance with wood, at Planten247 you will always find the right garden table that matches your style.

Outdoor table for your patio or roof terrace

A garden table is an ideal addition to your patio or roof terrace. Especially in urban environments, where a roof terrace is often the only outdoor space, a stylish outdoor table provides extra living comfort. It turns your patio into a full-fledged place to enjoy, eat, or relax. A well-chosen outdoor table combines functionality with atmosphere and enhances the character of your outdoor space.

At Planten247, you will find outdoor tables specifically designed for use on roof terraces and smaller outdoor spaces. Think of lightweight aluminum tables that are easy to move, or compact models that you can easily combine with garden benches or chairs. This way, you make optimal use of every square meter without compromising on comfort or style. For larger terraces, spacious dining tables are available that create a cozy setting for dinners and drinks. You can style the table with atmospheric outdoor lighting, plants, or decorations for a personal touch. Additionally, many of our garden tables are modular or combinable with other garden furniture, so you can easily put together a complete set. An outdoor table must withstand the elements. That is why we work exclusively with materials that are not only visually appealing but also functional and low-maintenance. With a garden table from Planten247, you can be sure that you will enjoy a durable, stylish, and practical piece of furniture on your terrace or roof terrace for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions about our garden tables

What is the difference between a Corten steel base and coated steel?

The choice depends on the desired look. A Corten steel garden table develops a natural, orange-brown rust layer that protects itself against rusting through. This creates a warm, industrial look. Coated steel (often powder-coated in anthracite or black), on the other hand, offers a sleek, even finish that fits perfectly with a modern garden. Both materials are extremely stable and heavy enough not to blow away in a storm.

Why choose a hardwood or bamboo tabletop?

We like to combine steel with natural materials because of their durability. Hardwood (such as Garapa or Ipe) has a very long lifespan and ages beautifully and evenly. Bamboo is an environmentally responsible alternative that is extremely hard and stable due to its dense fiber structure. Both materials expand and contract minimally, ensuring your tabletop remains taut and flat even with fluctuating temperatures. How do I maintain a steel and wood garden table? The steel base is virtually maintenance-free; wiping it with a damp cloth is sufficient. For the tabletop, you have a choice: let the wood weather naturally, or preserve the original color with an annual treatment using hardwood oil. Bamboo tabletops are often pre-treated and require only minimal cleaning to maintain their luxurious appearance. Can a steel garden table stand on any surface? Thanks to its own weight, a metal garden table stands very stably on tiles, gravel, and wood. However, be aware of Corten steel: during the first year, the table may release some rusty water when it rains. We recommend placing felt pads or caps under the legs on a light surface, or allowing the table to 'rust out' in a less critical spot for the first few months until the oxidation layer has set.

Are the tables resistant to extreme weather conditions?

Absolutely. Our tables are designed for the Dutch climate. The combination of powder-coated steel and high-quality wood ensures that the table can withstand both intense sun and severe frost. Unlike plastic tables, these materials will not become brittle or discolor due to UV radiation, ensuring the table lasts for decades.

Is the table delivered assembled?

Due to the weight and size, our garden tables are often delivered in several parts (base and top separately). With the included stainless steel fasteners and a clear manual, assembly is very simple. This way, we guarantee that the table arrives at your doorstep without transport damage and is ready for immediate use.
