If you have come this far, perhaps it is because you would like to have a large outdoor area where you can enjoy your plans with friends without worrying about space.

At Defora Home we offer you the complete guide with the different manufacturing materials, shapes, colours, functionalities and styles of the extendable outdoor table. The most useful information so you can make the best decision and buy the perfect extendable table for your terrace.

Manufacturing materials for extendable tables

 

The choice of the manufacturing material for an extendable garden table is key. First of all, it is essential to choose a garden furniture that is suitable for withstanding the elements. But it is also important to think about its quality and appearance, so that the lifespan of the outdoor dining table is long and durable.

Aluminium

 

Aluminium is one of the star materials in the manufacture of garden furniture. Being lightweight, rust-resistant and easy to clean, this metal is an excellent choice for placing in damp or outdoor areas. In addition, it acquires a modern and minimalist design, perfect for terraces or contemporary style gardens.

However, extendable aluminum tables can get hot in the sun and become uncomfortable furniture if you live in an area with very high temperatures. For this reason, many of our customers opt for tables that combine other materials such as natural wood, synthetic wood, ceramics or glass with an aluminium structure.

Madera

La madera aporta un estilo cálido y natural al entorno exterior. Y, aunque suele ser un material que requiere mayor mantenimiento que el aluminio, la madera de teca o acacia suele ser el material estrella para fabricar mesas de jardín extensibles. Sin duda, es el mobiliario de exterior ideal para ambientes rústicos, tradicionales y/o naturales.

Synthetic rattan

 

If you have created a boho or Mediterranean style outdoor area in your home, rattan will give you a 100% cozy touch. The extendable synthetic rattan table is resistant to moisture and sun, easy to clean and move. In addition, they are usually cheaper garden tables than those made of wood or aluminum. Despite all these advantages, rattan can be affected by wear and tear if not properly cared for.

Shapes of extendable outdoor tables

 

If you are looking for an extendable table for a small balcony or a large terrace, it is important to take into account the space available to choose the perfect table shape. Notes!

 

Rectangular

 

Do you have a large family and are you used to holding meetings with more than 12 people? Then, your best ally will be the rectangular extendable table for 12 people, which expands laterally and grows lengthwise when extended. This is the most common garden furniture, as it offers space for many people when the table is fully unfolded. Of course, it requires more space to place it, so it becomes the right type of furniture to place on large terraces.

 

Square

 

Square extendable garden tables are compact when not extended and become rectangular when extended. In turn, they become furniture that offers a lot of space once they are open. In fact, these extendable tables are recommended for both small and large spaces, as they can easily adapt to the available space on your terrace or garden.

Round

 

If you’re looking for a large garden table that encourages social interaction, this is your best bet! The extendable round table allows all diners to be at the same distance. To unfold, these garden furniture have additional boards that can be assembled and disassembled according to the number of diners.

Functionality and opening systems

 

The functionality of an extendable table is in its extension mechanism. From Defora Home we urge you to find tables with practical systems that are easy to assemble and disassemble:

Extendable up&down tables

 

They are those capable of opening up and gaining space by opening both sides of the table at the same time. To do this, you must pull up the furniture and make a small extension movement outwards. This extension mechanism is the same as what you will find on the extendable tables in the Osaka and Manhattan collections.

Extendable tables with butterfly system

 

It is the classic system for extendable wooden tables. In this type of garden furniture, the extension is hidden in the central part of the table and opens with a hinge. An extendable table option easy to assemble and disassemble! If you prefer to choose a simple and traditional opening system, you can choose the models from our Java Light or Lamas collections.

Tables with side extension

 

The extension of this table is located on one side of the furniture. In other words, the product has built-in extensions that unfold without the need to add additional parts. To open the table, you just have to extend one of the sides and remove the extension using guides. This opening system gives great versatility to the small models in our Tokyo and Osaka collection.

Mesas con sistema de patas correderas

 

Este es un sistema que permite el aprovechamiento máximo del espacio, ya que las patas no molestan a ningún comensal. Este accesorio permite extender sus 4 patas mediante unos rieles, para luego colocar la extensión en su lugar. Es un sistema muy útil para aquellos que tienen un gran número de comensales en casa. De esta manera, la mesa puede quedar extendida durante largos períodos de tiempo sin apreciarse visualmente, y al mantener las patas siempre en sus extremos, permite una mayor comodidad y capacidad en la distribución de comensales.

Spaces where to place an extendable table

 

At Defora Home we have a wide variety of extendable tables of many sizes. This allows you to find the one that best suits the space and use you are going to give it.

Here you can find different models for small spaces, balconies and kitchens of reduced dimensions 80x80cm.

Not forgetting, of course, the models designed for large spaces on terraces, gardens and porches that reach up to 340cm in length.

 

Dining capacity

 

Another important factor to consider before buying your extendable table is the capacity of diners it can accommodate. A characteristic that is closely related to the space where to place it. Depending on how small or large your family is, here you can find the table that best suits your needs:

  • From 2 to 6 diners (80x160x80cm), extendable tables of reduced dimensions
  • From 4 to 8 diners, extendable tables ranging from 135cm to 215cm
