Picnic Tables Are Still In
Style After Labor Day
A warm, sunny, autumn day can be gorgeous, refreshing, invigorating,
and exciting. It may evoke feelings of nostalgia, as you remember
the thrill of finding the perfect Halloween pumpkin on just such a
day in your childhood.
It may make you adventurous, as it sparks the
urge to hike through the woods, reveling in the vibrant colors of
the foliage. Indeed, it can conjure many emotions.
Unfortunately, however, in many people, it causes twinges
of regret, as they gaze wistfully at the glorious day, wishing that
they had not put their picnic tables away for the winter. That’s
what you’re supposed to do, right? It’s a tradition. After the end
of September, at the latest, all picnics must end until next Memorial Day.
This is because,
if left outside, exposed to the elements, the old picnic table soon
won’t have a leg to stand on.
Certainly, that’s the way we remember
it; but today’s picnic tables are a lot sturdier than their
predecessors were. Because of some of the improvements in wood
treatments, as well as the introduction of many new, synthetic
materials, they’re incredibly strong. In fact, depending upon the
material you choose, and where your picnic table is placed, you may
be able to leave it outside all year long.
In any case, a properly
treated picnic table can last indefinitely. Western red cedar, one
of the most popular woods for picnic tables of old, remains a
favorite today, partly because it has natural oils that make it
resistant to decay and insects. It also has properties that make
it dimensionally stable, give it a rich, dense texture, and prevent
it from warping. Add to that its natural lustre and distinct,
pleasant aroma, and it’s not only a tough wood, but a tough wood to
beat, to boot.
It can be sealed and stained to maintain its reddish
hue, or allowed to weather to a rustic gray. Treated pine picnic
tables, which are also in high demand, are made from top grade
arsenic free pine that has undergone a process of kiln-drying,
before and after a special pressure treatment, to help to prevent
decay and minimize warping, checking, and twisting.
They can also be
sealed and stained, or allowed to weather to gray. With one of the
largest and best selections anywhere, AllPicnicTables.com has picnic
tables made from every material imaginable. In addition to cedar and
pine, you’ll also find stunning oak and teak tables, as well as
