Most owners of country houses sooner or later think about the improvement of the adjacent site. We all like to spend our free time in the open air, have breakfast and dinner in the garden under a shady tree, and for comfort simply need a table and chairs.
Garden table for summer residence
Garden tables are very convenient and mobile, besides there are many varieties of their designs and materials of manufacture, so that you can always find something specific that is pleasant and will suit every dacha. Modern furniture manufacturers are trying to satisfy the needs of customers, so this highly specialized furniture is presented in a wide range.
A garden table on the street is a specific piece of furniture. If before the gardeners for the most part independently pieced together a massive wooden table for a garden gazebo, now there are finished products that can be easily folded for transport and compact storage. Such tables are chosen by people who want to provide themselves with maximum comfort in the suburban area.
Garden plastic table
The easiest and inexpensive furniture, suitable for outdoor use is plastic. Modern plastic garden tables have many variations of performance and style solutions. Plastic sometimes imitates wood or metal, it can be applied to various drawings and ornaments. So the garden table made of plastic is already far from the first such products, which we could see on the summer cafe grounds about 15 years ago.
Among the undeniable advantages of plastic products are their light weight, compactness, practicality, low cost, resistance to moisture and sun, simple maintenance and a great choice. Consider some of the disadvantages, such as brittleness, the rapid appearance of scratches, the deterioration of the material structure at too high or low temperatures. In other words, the service life of the plastic table will depend on how carefully you will use it.
Garden table in wood
The most popular garden tables are wooden. The frame of such products can be metal or wooden, the table top is made of solid wood. In this case, it is preferable to choose high-quality wood that is resistant to weather changes. Good operating properties are shown by teak and oak. Coniferous rocks are less reliable, but they are more accessible for country life. To prolong their life, they simply need additional care.
Wooden tables for a garden gazebo have a more solid and attractive appearance in comparison with plastic. They are durable, easy to care for, resistant to mechanical stress. Do not forget that such models are rotted and can be damaged by insects if they are not properly treated. They weigh more wooden tables, which reduces their mobility. However, at a stationary location this does not play any role.
Forged garden table
The garden metal table, decorated with artistic forging, can significantly transform the site, giving it a touch of special comfort and grace. Openwork patterns often adorn the leg of the table, whereas the role of the table top can be played with thick tempered glass, acrylic, stone or wood. Through the transparent materials you can see all the artistic beauties of the support, and it looks like such a table is simply delicious. However, a wooden or stone countertop can complement the product no worse.
The cost of metal furniture is high, and it weighs a lot. But the strength and durability of the best option is not found. Such a unique and sometimes exclusive table will serve not only you, but also your descendants for more than one decade. Uncomplicated care, resistance to any impact and versatility are its main advantages.
Garden tables made of rattan
In recent years, light and at the same time strong woven items of outdoor furniture made of artificial rattan are gaining increasing popularity. They are not afraid of any weather conditions, which makes them simply invulnerable. At the same time, they can be very original, creating a unique entourage at your dacha. Given the relatively affordable cost, it becomes a clear favorite among modern garden furniture.
The unfolding garden table made of rattan is very convenient. It can easily be moved to the favorite corners of the garden, and when it is not needed, it can be compacted and hidden from the eyes. The frame of such furniture is made of metal, it is braided by artificial tapes obtained during the extrusion of the polymer mass through special shapes. Due to the lack of weaknesses, such furniture can withstand considerable loads.
Summer garden tables - types
When buying dacha furniture, we all build on our needs. Do we need a fixed table, say, for a permanent installation in the gazebo, or will a small folding garden table suffice, which we will carry and put in different parts of the garden? We look closely at the shape of the table top, and to what it is made of. Not the least role is played by how much we are willing to pay for the finished furniture. Adding all these factors, we are determined with a choice.
Round garden tables
What is good about this form is its amazing ability to unite and bring together all the people sitting at the table. When you do not need to have a very large garden table, a compact circle in the center of the green area surrounded by comfortable chairs will become an island of carefree relaxation and a pleasant pastime with a cup of tea with close people.
A garden table without corners will be an ideal solution for a gazebo or veranda, allowing you to fearlessly move in a cramped space. With him there is no fear for the children who often hit the sharp corners of the furniture. In the garden in the English style, such a thing is simply irreplaceable. Especially if it is made in the form of a white openwork forged embodiment of art.
Rectangular garden tables
Often in cottages you can meet rectangular outdoor tables. This form is familiar to us, besides it is convenient and practical, allowing to place more people. When a family who has a rest at the dacha is small, a small model will suffice, but if you are often visited by friends and relatives, it is advisable to choose a sliding garden table to be able to increase its area when it becomes necessary.
Garden table-transformer
Foldable garden table-bench transformer - a universal and very useful invention, allowing in a matter of seconds a comfortable bench with a back to turn into a huge and comfortable table with capacious benches on both sides. Uncomplicated equipment, reliability, convenience and the availability of strong mobile mechanisms makes them a frequent choice among summer residents.
