Outdoor Table

The Australian climate is perfectly suited to outdoor living and in most households the outdoor table is used as frequently as the indoor table.  There are many gorgeous outdoor dining table options on the market – so how do you choose the right table for your home?  We recommend that you consider the following:-

Durability

The harsh Australian environment is well known for its high UV radiation.  UV exposure will fade powdercoated metal colours, particularly the more vibrant colours.  It will also bleach some plastics.  To maintain the colour finish, place your table undercover or use an outdoor furniture cover.  At Replica Furniture we stock plastic outdoor tables that have been UV stabilized to ensure they will not fade with UV exposure. In addition to our range of plastic tables, we also stock aluminium outdoor tables along with some wicker tables. These tables are all rust resistant and suitable for your outdoor deck or patio.

Exposure to sea and salt pool spray will cause metals such as steel to rust.  Aluminium is a better option is coastal areas however only marine grade Aluminium will remain spot rust free.  If rusting is a concern, a plastic table such as our Vegas Outdoor Dining Table is an ideal option.  

 

Location & Size

To make the most of an outdoor space with a view a high bar table may be for you.  This type of table is perfect for both casual entertaining and family dining.   At Replica Furniture we stock small 2-4 seat outdoor tables such as Porretta Outdoor dining table to larger tables like the 230cm Long, 8-10 seat Aluminium Outdoor Family dining table.  Don’t forget to measure your space to ensure that your new table will fit within the space!

 

Maintenance

Humidity, moisture, UV radiation, pollution and salt spray will damage your outdoor table.    To increase the life span of your outdoor furniture wash it every 3-4 months with warm, soapy water.  Apply stain to outdoor timbers and rust preventions sprays to metal finishes.  Simple maintenance steps like these will greatly improve the look of your outdoor furniture and ensure that you enjoy it for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best material for an outdoor table in Australia?
For most Australian climates, the best materials for outdoor tables are aluminium and UV-stabilised plastic. These materials resist fading, rust, and corrosion, ideal for both coastal and high-sun areas. At Replica Furniture, we stock aluminium tables for their lightweight strength and rust-resistant properties, and plastic tables like the Vegas range that are UV-treated to prevent sun damage. All materials are selected for year-round performance outdoors in Australian conditions.
Will an aluminium outdoor table rust near the beach or pool?
Aluminium outdoor tables are highly resistant to rust and are generally well-suited to coastal or poolside locations. However, for long-term performance, marine-grade aluminium is preferred. At Replica Furniture, our aluminium outdoor tables are designed to resist corrosion, but if you're in a high-salt environment, we also recommend using protective covers or choosing a UV-stabilised plastic table for zero-maintenance peace of mind.
How do I protect my outdoor table from the harsh Australian sun?
To protect your outdoor table from sun damage, place it under cover when possible or use a UV-resistant outdoor furniture cover. Our outdoor tables are selected for durability, but even powder-coated metals can fade over time if fully exposed. We recommend a simple maintenance routine: clean the surface every few months with mild soapy water and avoid placing hot or sharp objects directly on the surface to preserve the finish.
What size outdoor table is best for family entertaining?
Choosing the right size depends on your outdoor space and how many people you typically entertain. For compact patios or balconies, a small 2- to 4-seater like the Porretta table works well. For larger gatherings, our 230cm long aluminium dining tables can comfortably seat 8–10 guests. Always measure your space carefully and allow clearance for chairs and movement to ensure a functional and relaxed setting.
Are your outdoor tables suitable for year-round use?
Yes, our outdoor tables are designed with Australian conditions in mind and can be used all year round. Aluminium and plastic options are rust-proof and moisture-resistant, making them perfect for outdoor dining in any season. With a little basic care, such as regular cleaning and occasional cover use, your outdoor table will maintain its appearance and structure for years to come. Fast delivery is available Australia-wide with most models in stock.
