How does the Landscape Square table perform in terms of resistance to water submersion or flooding?

The Landscape Square table is engineered for resilience in outdoor environments, with water resistance being a core design consideration. Its performance during water submersion or flooding events depends on several key factors. Primarily constructed from powder-coated aluminum or specially treated, low-porosity synthetic stone, the table frame and top are inherently non-absorbent. This prevents water ingress that can lead to swelling, warping, or structural degradation common in natural materials. The protective powder coat acts as a continuous barrier against corrosion, even when fully submerged for extended periods.

Critical to its flood resistance is the design of joints and fasteners. High-quality stainless steel hardware and sealed connection points prevent water from penetrating the internal structure. For models with integrated drainage channels in the tabletop, incidental water is swiftly evacuated, minimizing pooling and reducing the overall water load during a flooding event.

Real-world performance testing simulates prolonged exposure. A fully submerged Landscape Square table, when retrieved and properly dried, typically shows no functional compromise. The materials do not retain moisture, eliminating risks of mold or mildew formation within the table itself. However, it is crucial to clean off silt and debris post-flooding to maintain the protective finish's integrity. While exceptionally resistant, the table is not classified as a "flood-proof" structural element but as highly durable, flood-resilient furniture. Its performance surpasses standard outdoor tables, offering reliable longevity in areas prone to heavy rainfall, accidental submersion, or temporary flooding, with minimal maintenance required post-exposure.
