Outdoor Dining Sets
Bring the Table and Seating Together
An outdoor dining set should feel comfortable before anyone sits down. The table needs enough room around it. The chairs need space to pull back. The full setting should still leave a clear path through the area.
Jardan offers individual pieces so you can create an outdoor dining setting around the size and shape of your space.
- Outdoor dining tables establish the main footprint. Choose the shape and dimensions according to your seating needs and available room.
- Outdoor dining chairs give each place setting its own seat and can introduce colour, upholstery or a lighter metal frame.
- Outdoor benches can seat several people and keep one side of the table visually open.
- Outdoor bar tables suit higher, more casual dining areas. Pair them with stools at the correct seat height.
The wider outdoor furniture range can connect the dining area with nearby sofas, occasional tables and lounge seating.
Work Out How Many Seats You Need
The right table size starts with how you like to use the space. A four seat setting works well for balconies, courtyards and smaller decks, while six seats gives family meals and casual entertaining a little more room to breathe. For eight seats or more, allow for a more generous footprint.
Whatever the size, consider more than the table itself. Leave enough room for chairs to pull back comfortably and for people to move around the setting without feeling restricted.
Materials for Australian Outdoor Conditions
Material choice plays an important role in how an outdoor dining setting looks, feels and lives over time. Solid timber brings natural warmth and character, with regular care helping preserve the finish through changing weather. Powder coated aluminium offers a lighter alternative, with corrosion resistance and UV stability suited to outdoor use.
For upholstered dining chairs, outdoor fabrics and reticulated foams provide comfort while helping manage moisture. In more exposed, coastal or poolside settings, a little extra care goes a long way. Protect furniture during prolonged wet weather and follow the recommended care guidance for each material and finish.
Leave Enough Room Around the Table
Measure the full dining area before selecting an outdoor dining table and chairs. Include clearance behind occupied chairs so people can sit and move easily. Check the position of doors, paths, shade and shelter. Planting or a suitable rug can help define the dining area within a larger terrace, courtyard or garden.
