Outdoor Table Bases

Outdoor table base constructions and types

Central column bases are the most common solution for hospitality terraces. A single central support leaves more legroom for guests and works particularly well with square and round tabletops. Most commonly used for 70×70 cm or Ø70–80 cm tables.

Double bases feature two columns on a shared base and are designed for large rectangular tables. This configuration provides the stability required for 120×70 cm, 140×80 cm and larger tabletops where a single pedestal is no longer sufficient.

Folding bases are designed for flip-top tables used on seasonal terraces and compact outdoor spaces. They allow tables to be folded and stored quickly after closing hours or during bad weather.

Bar-height bases are designed for outdoor bar areas and standing zones. Standard height: 105–110 cm.

Materials for outdoor use

Outdoor table bases are manufactured from steel or cast iron with a powder-coated finish. This coating protects the metal against corrosion, scratches and fading caused by UV exposure.

Cast iron bases are heavier and provide greater stability in windy conditions or under uneven loads. Steel constructions are lighter, making them easier to move and store during the off-season.

Plastic or silicone glides are fitted to the feet to protect terrace flooring and reduce noise when moving furniture.

How to choose a base for your tabletop

• Round or square tabletop 60–80 cm — central base
• Rectangular tabletop 120–160 cm — double base or two separate table bases
• Bar height 105–110 cm — bar-height base with appropriate fixing system
• Seasonal terrace with limited storage space — folding base

The footprint of the base should always be smaller than the tabletop width or diameter — this ensures proper visual balance and safe everyday use.

Outdoor bases are typically paired with outdoor table tops made from HPL, compact laminate or werzalit — materials resistant to moisture, UV exposure and temperature changes.
