Are there any specific guidelines for using the Landscape Square table in outdoor dining areas?

When incorporating a Landscape Square table into your outdoor dining space, several specific guidelines ensure both functionality and longevity. First, consider placement: position the table on a stable, level surface to prevent wobbling. If placed on grass or soil, use protective pads under the feet to prevent sinking and moisture damage.

Material care is paramount. Most Landscape Square tables are crafted from weather-resistant materials like powder-coated aluminum, teak, or synthetic wicker. However, regular maintenance is still advised. Clean surfaces with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive cleaners. For metal frames, check for chips in the coating annually and touch up to prevent rust. For wood tables like teak, apply a protective sealant as recommended to maintain its color and resistance.

Weather protection extends beyond material. Use a fitted, waterproof cover when the table is not in use for extended periods, especially during harsh seasons. Never leave glass tops (if applicable) exposed to extreme temperature shifts without protection, as this can cause stress cracks.

For dining comfort and safety, ensure adequate clearance around the table—typically at least 36 inches (91 cm) from other furniture or walls to allow easy chair movement and passage. Anchor the table securely in areas prone to strong winds.

Finally, styling should balance aesthetics and practicality. Use a centerpiece that can withstand breezes, such as a weighted vase or potted plant. Choose outdoor-rated tableware and textiles to complete your alfresco setup. By following these guidelines, your Landscape Square table will become a durable and stylish hub for countless outdoor meals and gatherings.
