An aluminium picnic table does not need much maintenance. Wipe it with a cloth and lukewarm water (without cleaning product) every now and then is enough. Dirt won’t have the chance to adhere. In autumn, you can cover your picnic table with a garden cover or store it inside. Leaving it outside is possible, but we do not recommend it.

What are the disadvantages of aluminium tables?
Like with everything, aluminium also has its disadvantages. When it comes to the price, aluminium is often more expensive then a wooden picnic table. Right now, that is. The rising prices for wood make this difference smaller.
Additionally, the Dutch summers are getting warmer and dryer as we know and notice. When your aluminium picnic table is placed in the sunshine, it can get very hot which is not very pleasant to sit at. This will get a lot less when you place the table in the shade or under the parasol. And on such a hot day, you probably won't want to sit in the sun yourself anyway. You can also use our specially developed picnic table cushions. Even more comfortable and give the whole set an even more comfy look!
