What legs for outdoor table?

[moniqueld]

Hi. I am making a small outdoor table using the Bunnings merbau circle. 

What are the best legs to use for a table that will be left outside? Thanks

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @moniqueld. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about creating an outdoor table.

We have a variety of table legs that you could use for your project. They are painted, and provided that the painted coating isn't compromised, they'll last a significant amount of time out in the weather. As with any outdoor furniture, it's best to cover it when not in use, so it's not exposed to the extremes.

The other option is to create your own custom legs with 42 x 28mm Merbau batons.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Are any of the "off the shelf" table legs made of hardwood? What would you recommend? 

Am not sure that steel is the best option.

Hello @moniqueld 

If you are after timber legs, I suggest looking at the following:

• Adoored 95 x 95 x 720mm Raw Wood Square Furniture Leg
   
• Adoored 53 - 40 x 730mm Lacquered Wood Square Tapered Furniture Leg
   
• Adoored 53-30x360mm Round Raw Angled Tapered Wooden Leg.

These are all made of hardwood, but I still suggest painting or sealing them with a clear sealer. For that angled installation look, I suggest using Adoored 3/8" Angle Plate Leg Furniture Accessory. Please double check the leg screw size before you purchase the plate.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
