Types of tables for cottages

Tables for cottages can be of different shapes: round, oval, rectangular or square. Here, the choice depends on your preferences and the number of people that should fit at the table. For large companies, it is more convenient to choose oval and rectangular tables, and round and square ones for cozy family dinners.

By its design, tables for dachas are: stationary, folding and transformers. A stationary table is usually installed in a garden or pergola and moved only in case of emergency. The folding table is more practical in operation, as it can be quickly folded and hidden in a house, moved to another place in the country or taken with you to a picnic. The table-transformer for the dacha is a kind of folding table, but, unlike the latter, it does not fold, but turns into another piece of furniture - for example, in a bench .

Varieties of materials for summer tables

Tables for dachas are made of such materials: wood, metal, plastic, rattan and glass.

The most popular are wooden tables for cottages . Such tables fit well into the dacha interior, they are durable and safe for the environment. The most expensive type of wood is a teak, which eventually becomes firmer. Oak tables are slightly cheaper, while they are also very reliable and durable, as they can resist the process of decay. Tables made of larch, walnut and cherry are also an excellent choice for summer cottages.

Metal tables can be cast and forged. Cast furniture is mainly made of aluminum. It is more affordable than forged. At the same time, aluminum tables are characterized by high strength and relative ease. Among the minuses of cast furniture: it quickly heats up in the sun and is very cool in cool weather.

Forged tables for cottages look great in open garden areas or in gazebos. They do not need to move from the open space, as they are covered with a special anti-corrosion coating, which protects against weather and precipitation changes. For forged chairs it is desirable to choose soft covers or cushions on the seat.

Plastic tables for cottages are considered the least durable and most affordable. Indeed, plastic eventually fades and collapses under the influence of sunlight. But on sale there is furniture from the reinforced plastic which is much more steady against influence of weather conditions. In addition, the tables of plastic differ in a wide range of colors and ease.

Tables for cottages from wicker rattan are very popular recently. They are durable, beautiful, light and environmentally friendly. The cost of such tables is quite high.

Summer tables are usually placed in the open air, in this regard, there were special varieties of tables with a canopy or an umbrella. Such tables with canopy for cottages are very convenient, if you do not have a gazebo or a shady place. The canopy is attached in the center of the table or placed next to the table, protecting the table from rain and sun.
