Picnic Tables
No outdoor area is complete without a picnic table. Picnic
tables have been an outdoor staple for generations for many
reasons. They are comfortable, convenient, serve many purposes,
and are very durable. Picnic tables can be made out of many
types of material.
Picnic tables are convenient because they can seat several
people. With tables, extra chairs are need when more people are
around. Picnic tables are simply benches attached to tables, so
seating can vary. In a location where there are lots of
children, picnic tables are especially convenient. A large group
of children can sit a picnic table and be comfortable, and when
they are done, clean up is easy. And, no one has to ask then to
push their chairs in.
Picnic tables are very durable because they are always outdoors.
Typically made of wood, the materials used to make picnic tables
have changed over time to increase their durability. Now you can
find picnic tables made out of metal, recycled plastics, and
fiberglass. Some picnic tables are constructed as two benched on
either side, while more modern picnic tables feature a round
table design equipped with an outdoor patio umbrella in the
middle for picnicking convenience.
Because picnic tables are always outdoors, they can serve many
purposes. Not only do they get used for eating, but they can
also be used for doing outdoor projects and crafts. It's much
better to spill a little glue or paint on a picnic table than on
your indoor kitchen table. Picnic tables can even be used as a
sawhorse.
The decision is not whether or not you need a picnic table, but
what kind of picnic table do you need, and how will you use it?
The possibilities are endless.
