When selecting your garden table, always consider your available outdoor space. Measure your balcony, patio or garden in advance to determine the optimal table dimensions. Remember that, in addition to the table, seating also requires sufficient space and clear aisle widths should be maintained for ease of movement. To assist with size selection, here are some recommended dimensions for garden tables that will also function as outdoor dining tables:
- Height: The standard height of garden tables is usually between 70 and 75 centimetres. This height allows you to sit and eat comfortably in the fresh air. It is important that the chairs match the table height.
- Width: How wide your garden table should be depends on the number of people who will be sitting at it. A rectangular table for four people is usually between 90 and 120 centimetres wide, a table for six people between 150 and 180 centimetres. Round tables with a diameter of 120 to 150 centimetres can usually seat four to six people.
- Length: The length of the table also plays an important role. This is especially true for elongated shapes such as rectangular or oval tables. A rectangular table for four people should be around 120 to 150 centimetres long, while a table for six people is usually 180 to 220 centimetres long. The dimensions are similar for oval tables.
