Picnic Tables Are Still In Style After Labor Day by :
Kathy Moran
A warm, sunny, autumn day can be gorgeous, refreshing, invigorating,
and exciting. It may evoke feelings of nostalgia, as you remember the
thrill of finding the perfect Halloween pumpkin on just such a day in
your childhood. It may make you adventurous, as it sparks the urge to
hike through the woods, reveling in the vibrant colors of the foliage.
Indeed, it can conjure many emotions.
Unfortunately, however, in many people, it causes twinges of regret,
as they gaze wistfully at the glorious day, wishing that they had not
put their picnic tables away for the winter. That’s what you’re supposed
to do, right? It’s a tradition. After the end of September, at the
latest, all picnics must be tabled until next Memorial Day, because,
left outside, exposed to the elements, the old picnic table soon won’t
have a leg to stand on.
Certainly, that’s the way we remember it; but today’s picnic tables
are a lot sturdier than their predecessors were. Because of some of the
improvements in wood treatments, as well as the introduction of many
new, synthetic materials, they’re incredibly strong. In fact, depending
upon the material you choose, and where your picnic table is placed, you
may be able to leave it outside all year long. In any case, a properly
treated picnic table can last indefinitely.
Western red cedar, one of the most popular woods for picnic tables of
old, remains a favorite today, partly because it has natural oils that
make it resistant to decay and insects. It is also has properties that
make it dimensionally stable, give it a rich, dense texture, and prevent
it from warping. Add to that its natural luster and distinct, pleasant
aroma, and it’s not only a tough wood, but a tough wood to beat, to
boot. It can be sealed and stained to maintain its reddish hue, or
allowed to weather to a rustic gray.
Treated pine picnic tables, which are also in high demand, are made
from top-grade arsenic-free pine that has undergone a process of
kiln-drying, before and after a special pressure treatment, to help to
prevent decay and minimize warping, checking, and twisting. They can
also be sealed and stained, or allowed to weather to gray.
