    What to Consider for Outdoor Timber

    Outdoor settings expose timber to sun, moisture and temperature changes. For hospitality use, the best results come from choosing an appropriate finish, allowing for seasonal movement, and selecting a base with the right footprint for the top size. If your venue is coastal or exposed to salt air, ask us about suitable base finishes and practical maintenance routines.

    Best for: patios, terraces, courtyards, beer gardens
    Pairing: match base footprint to top size to reduce wobble
    Care: wipe spills, avoid harsh chemicals, maintain finish as needed
    Coastal use: ask about suitable base finishes and protection

    Outdoor Timber Table Top FAQs

    Ask a question
    Are outdoor timber table tops suitable for hospitality?
    Yes. Outdoor timber tops are used across hospitality venues including cafés, pubs, clubs and restaurants. For best performance, match the top size to a stable base and follow basic outdoor care and maintenance.
    How do I choose the right base for an outdoor timber top?
    Choose a base with a footprint and weight that suits the top size. Larger tops usually need a wider stance or heavier base to reduce movement and improve stability in high-traffic areas.
    Can outdoor timber be used in coastal locations?
    Coastal environments can increase wear due to salt air. Ask us about base finishes and practical maintenance routines for outdoor and coastal applications.
    Do you provide sustainability certification details for projects?
    Yes. Where required, we can support projects that specify certified timber supply and traceability using recognised forestry schemes.
