Extendable Patio Tables

Extendable patio dining table: how it opens

An extendable patio dining table usually opens by sliding the top apart and adding a leaf, or by pulling out a built-in extension. Check both the closed and open sizes before you order, since the open length decides how much patio you need. The ivory white aluminum table, for example, opens from a 35.4 inch square to 70.8 inches, which turns a table for four into a table for six.

Extendable outdoor patio table sizes

Extendable outdoor patio tables here list lengths from about 63 to 106.3 inches, with depths of 32.7 to 37.5 inches and heights of 29 to 30 inches. A table around 70 to 80 inches seats six, and the 92 to 106.3 inch tables seat eight or more. Leave 36 inches behind each chair at the full length, not just the closed length.

Extendable patio tables in aluminum, steel and acacia

Extendable patio tables come in three main builds. Aluminum frames are light and do not rust, in white, black, gray, dark brown and bronze. Two tables pair a metal frame with an HDPE top that never needs paint. Solid acacia tables come in a teak finish, natural or dark gray, and teak finish is a color on acacia wood, not teak. One dark gray table uses a steel frame.

Aluminum extendable patio table care

An aluminum extendable patio table needs little care: wash with mild soap and water and dry the slides so they move freely. On acacia tables, clean along the grain, let the wood dry, and oil it once or twice a season to keep the color. Store any loose leaf indoors, and cover the table during long wet spells.
