Picnic Tables

Depending on the climate you live in, you have several months out of the year in which to fully enjoy your outdoor space. Whether you're preparing for the next barbeque or just looking to refresh your collection of tired, worn-out outdoor furniture, you'll find an assortment of picnic tables at Walmart to suit your budget and your decor. Here's what to pay attention to when shopping around so you can find the right one for your needs.

When considering which picnic table to buy, it's important to keep in mind how it will be used. If you're going to be using your picnic table in a sunny area, consider buying one with an umbrella to help keep your family and friends cool when the temperatures start to rise. While it's not in use, consider how you'll be storing it. If you don't have a garage or shed to store your picnic table, consider purchase a cover to keep it in good condition in the off-season.

Picnic tables come in a variety of different materials, with the most common being wood. Metal and wicker are also two great materials for picnic tables. Those made of metal tables are a perfect low-maintenance option because they're durable to withstand inclement weather and can easily be wiped clean. Wicker is another great option as it's just as durable and low-maintenance as metal and can add a chic touch to your deck or patio without the risk of rusting. Wooden picnic tables can add to the natural beauty of your outdoor space but may need to be treated with sealants or protective oils.
