Outdoor recreational areas are known for having playgrounds, campgrounds, athletic fields and picnic tables. There are several different types of picnic tables to choose from depending on your needs. Here is the list of the following picnic tables available on the market today.

Wood Picnic Tables

These classic style picnic tables provide a sturdy, long-lasting place to sit and rest at a park or your own backyard. A combination of pressure-treated southern yellow pine and all-welded extruded aluminum, wood picnic tables are designed to utilize green materials that can be recycled and reused for other purposes. The treated wood can easily be painted and replaced.

Aluminum Picnic Tables

There are different levels of aluminum picnic tables. The first level is the AT Series picnic table which feature frames fabricated with 1-5/8" O.D. Mill finish aluminum pipe. The next level is the PT Series picnic tables which feature frames that are 1-5/8" O.D. steel tubing. The last level is the HPT Series which features frames that are 2-3/8" O.D. steel pipe. All three picnic table series feature anodized aluminum table tops and seats which resist fading and corrosion.

Recycled Picnic Tables

Recycled plastic lumber is clean, nontoxic, nonporous and lasts longer than wood. There are three color options available for seats and table tops. These recycled plastic tables are available with standard and heavy duty steel frames. Handicap-accessible picnic tables are also available in this version.

ADA Picnic Tables

ADA Compliant Picnic Tables are for those who are wheel-chair bound. These picnic tables are a must for any recreational facility because they are accommodating a wider demographic of people. There are standard 8-foot rectangular picnic tables to 46 inch picnic tables that come in many shapes and styles. All are made with perforated metal and provide comfort to those who are physically challenged.

Kids Picnic Tables

Thermoplastic steel picnic tables are ideal outdoor furniture for kids. These picnic tables have special sized seats and tops made with 9-gauge expanded metal or 11-gauge perforated metal. Every kids picnic table is supported by a welded iron frame and extra bracing is provided under the frame which keeps the corners of the table solid and durable.
