Choosing the Right Size and Shape

The size and shapes of dining sets influence your outdoor aesthetics. You need to calculate a few things to find the exact size and design.

• Consider the shape of the area where you will position the table. Take into account the furniture as well. For small spaces, a round shape is ideal.
• How many people will dine is the most important question to decide the size. This also influences the shape of the table. 2-4 people can sit comfortably at a round dining table. Rectangular tables are better for up to 6 people. Consider extension tables if you need seating arrangements for 6 to 8 persons.
• When calculating the size, count 24-inch gap at least between chairs.
• You also need to maintain a gap of 36 inches between the table and any wall, tree, or obstacles.

Caring for Your Timber Outdoor Dining Set

Hardwood dining sets do not require much maintenance. However, following a few steps, you can keep them aesthetically more beautiful.

• Wipe down the dining set with a soft cloth regularly.
• For occasional deep cleaning, you can use mild soap with water.
• Apply teak or timber oil every few months. This protects the wood’s natural colour.
• Using covers can save them from the sunlight and preserve their colour.
• If the finish fades, reapply a protective sealant to keep the wood in good condition.
• Ensure water does not pool for long in the furniture. It helps to prevent moisture damage and wood warping.

If you are looking for both eco-friendliness and sustainability in outdoor furniture, nothing is more suitable than wood. Timber is durable and can take heavy weight. But more than that, the design is sustainable. Wood makes it easy to craft different complex designs. These designs remain timeless for years. In fact, when they become antique, their value increases.

Wood is renewable and biodegradable. It breaks down naturally without causing any harm. This means that when furniture is no longer to be used, it can be disposed of safely if the wood is not reclaimed. Natural wood does not emit toxic substances or fumes.
