What are the noise levels produced when moving or rearranging the Landscape Round Table?

When reorganizing your outdoor space, the process of moving or rearranging a Landscape Round Table inevitably produces some level of noise. The specific acoustic output depends on several key factors including the table's construction material, the surface it's being moved across, and the technique employed.

Typically, sliding a heavy resin or metal table across a concrete patio can generate intermittent scraping sounds ranging from 65-75 decibels (dB), comparable to moderate street traffic. Lifting and carrying the table, while more physically demanding, often produces less continuous noise, primarily brief grunting or shifting sounds around 60-70 dB if the table legs contact the ground. Dragging a table across pavers or gravel significantly amplifies the noise, potentially reaching 80 dB or more—akin to a garbage disposal—due to the irregular surface interaction.

The table's components also contribute. Tables with loose umbrella holes or removable centerpieces may produce rattling vibrations. Mitigation strategies include lifting rather than dragging, using furniture sliders or moving blankets under the base, and ensuring all components are secured prior to movement. For composite wood tables, a gentle lifting motion is crucial to avoid loud cracking sounds from stressed joints.

Ultimately, while some noise is unavoidable, understanding these acoustic profiles allows for smarter, quieter rearrangement of your Landscape Round Table, preserving both your patio's tranquility and your table's structural integrity.
