When a restaurant takes its tables outside, the stone tops and timber cones of the dining room give way to something that drains. This pedestal table keeps the single-column logic of our indoor two-tops but builds the top from spaced teak-tone slats held inside a powder-coated aluminum frame.
How it is built
- Top: teak or teak-look composite slats with drainage gaps, framed by a slim metal apron that protects the slat ends.
- Column and plate: powder-coated aluminum or steel, beige or white as shown, with a square foot plate sized for stability in wind.
- Glides: adjustable, to level on decking and on pavers laid to a fall.
Choosing the slat
Solid teak weathers to silver-grey unless oiled; a composite slat keeps its honey tone without maintenance and is the better choice for high-turnover patios. Both drain and dry quickly after rain.
A 28 in (70 cm) square seats two comfortably, and two tables push together for four. For coastal sites, specify a coastal-grade powder coat and stainless fixings. Frame color, slat material and size are confirmed on your drawing.
