The average lifespan of an outdoor table depends on several factors, including material, climate, and maintenance. Generally, well-made outdoor tables can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years.

Material Matters:

- Wooden tables (e.g., teak, cedar) typically last 10–15 years with proper care but may degrade faster in humid or rainy climates.

- Metal tables (aluminum, wrought iron) can endure 15–20 years if rust-resistant or powder-coated.

- Plastic or resin tables may last 5–10 years but are prone to fading and brittleness over time.

Climate Impact:

Harsh sunlight, heavy rain, and extreme temperatures accelerate wear. Coastal areas with salt exposure may shorten a table’s lifespan.

Maintenance Tips:

- Apply sealants to wood and metal surfaces annually.

- Use protective covers during off-seasons.

- Clean regularly to prevent mold or rust.

Investing in high-quality, weather-resistant materials and proactive care can significantly extend your outdoor table’s life, ensuring years of enjoyment.
