Garden table

3 years ago

I really like this garden table. Would you remember what make and model it is and secondly, is the top a solid wood or not ?

Thanks

I'm afraid I can't recall the model but do know it is from "Indian Ocean'. The top wood is Teak.

I agree that painting the furniture seems a shame. Hand-painted timber finishes left outside are rarely low maintenance and usually show deterioration more prominently than natural finishes. Depending on the type of wood and its condition, you may be able to sand through the greyed surface back to the richer original colour and then apply a seal. Generally, the lighter and more transparent the seal, the more frequently it will need to be reapplied - in a sunny spot perhaps every month or so. Many such seals are not recommended for external use since they don't protect against UV rays. More obscuring wood-coloured varnishes can last much longer, but many look heavy and reapplication often needs much more preparation than a light oil finish. If the wood is a durable one such as teak or iroko, natural oils can inhibit adhesion of paints and varnishes. I've had quite a durable mahogany balcony railing for over 20 years. I originally sanded and oiled it every few months. Now that I've found attractions in its natural grey finish, I just scrub or lightly sand it periodically to keep it from looking scruffy rather than fighting a losing battle against ultra-violet light.

It sounds lovely design wise... but would you be able to have your legs under the table when you eat? Have a look at Petersham Nurseries/ café for inspiration on antique tables with chairs! Their place is so inspirational!

Thanks for your advice both of you. We live in England to answer your question Gabby. Is there a rule in Scotland that the aisles have to be 120cm and if so why ? Jonathan, I was kind of thinking we would want to use the island for eating meals on like we do now with our current kitchen table, but I guess if the DR is open to the kitchen then it wouldn't be a problem to take a few steps more to the dining room table (because we use it so infrequently at the moment I am finding that hard to visualise). I am going to post a better plan of our current kitchen and dining room (with the pantry taken out) and I am also going to post a photo looking out from the window in our dining room. I am wondering if we did turn the DR into our kitchen could we make the window ledge higher and put the units in an L-shape so we could put the sink in the window? (and still have space for an island) I know this goes against some of my earlier points, especially about being worried people would be able to look in at us/and would create a more goldfish bowl feeling but I am just playing around with ideas.

Are fire pits a good idea?
Q

Weve had a fire pit dining table for two years. On a positive we have used it a lot for bbqs where everyone cooks their own food to suit. It is very good for this and saves one person being off to the side cooking. Negative is it is very hot, uncomfortably so on your legs, and the smoke..... it’s pretty bad if you are downwind. We typically space out to cook, avoiding downwind spots and then move back in when it is cooling down. We had ours for a great price, but when it needs replacing we will not get the same again. Hope this helps.
