How to choose the right picnic table for you
When we think of a picnic table we all probably have the same stock image in our mind: rectangular, basic picnic table with two benches attached either side. So when it comes co choosing a picnic table, it’s a breeze, right? Not so fast – actually picnic tables have come a huge way and now there is far more choice. Here is a helpful tip on how to choose the right picnic table for you, from the UK’s leading picnic table manufacturer and supplier, Benchmark (http://www.benchmarkpicnictables.co.uk/).
The most important thing to consider before purchasing a picnic table bench is why you want one in the first place and how you plan to use it. Is it to keep the kids occupied outside, a place where they can happily read, paint and play in the fresh air? Is it to act as a gardener’s friend, somewhere to repot plants in comfort and survey your hard work which has come to fruition in the flower beds? Or perhaps you dream of al fresco dining under the stars and lazy afternoon barbecues with your friends. What you plan to do with your picnic bench will determine the right size, shape and style for you.
Take two of our very different styles of wooden picnic tables, The Hampshire and The Oxford. The Hampshire is classic in design – very much the rectangular, basic picnic table image that most often comes to mind. Take a closer look and you’ll see that it is generously proportioned, seating up to 6 adults comfortably. The Hampshire’s basic shape and ample seating, coupled with the fact that it requires zero maintenance, has seen it top our list of bestsellers for many years. That’s because it’s perfect for all-round general use, robust enough to weather many seasons, and there’s even a child-sized version for the kids.
The Oxford is an all-together different kind of wood picnic table, immediately recognisable for its curved edges. The round aesthetic of this picnic table makes it a focal point of the garden, perfect for romantic dinners or outside entertaining. The Step-Thru style frame makes it easier for elderly people to use (or anyone who finds manoeuvring into standard style picnic tables a challenge).
As you see, there is more to consider than you may think when it comes to choosing a picnic table for your back garden or terrace. And at Benchmark, we have many more than these two popular styles, each of them offering a slightly different take on the classic picnic table.
