Care & Maintenance
Pine is a naturally resinous, durable softwood that performs well outdoors when treated correctly. A few straightforward habits will keep your table looking sharp for years:
- Annual oiling: Apply a quality wood oil at the start of each season to feed the grain and maintain weather resistance.
- Winter storage: Fold or move the table under cover — or use one of the fitted PVC covers listed above — to protect against standing water and frost.
- Cleaning: Warm water and a soft brush is usually enough. Avoid pressure washers on bare wood, as they open the grain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available in this collection?
Tables are available in 140 cm, 180 cm, and 240 cm lengths, plus a 200 × 200 cm square option and a 120 × 120 cm round children's model (Jimmy). All adult models are built from solid pine with 40 mm planks.
Can I leave a pine picnic table outside all year?
Yes — pine is a robust outdoor timber — but protecting it with a waterproof PVC cover during winter and re-oiling it each spring will significantly extend its lifespan. Fitted covers for 180 cm and 300 cm tables are available in this collection.
Do the cushions fit all KING® bench sizes?
The 57 cm cushions suit shorter bench sections; the 96 cm cushions cover longer runs. Both sizes are available in multiple colours. For the complete range, visit the picnic table cushions collection.
