Weather Resistant Outdoor Dining Sets for Alfresco Gatherings

An outdoor dining set turns a patio, deck or backyard into a place to gather. Long lunches, weekend barbecues and warm evening meals all begin with a table that invites everyone to sit and stay a while.

Our outdoor dining sets bring together weather resistant tables and chairs in timber, rattan and aluminium, made for the Australian climate and offering a luxury feel without the heavy price tag. Whether for a compact balcony or a generous entertaining area, the right set makes alfresco dining feel effortless, and it pairs naturally with relaxed outdoor lounges nearby.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Dining Set for Your Space

Size the set to your space and your guests by allowing around 60cm of table width per person, with a four seater suiting a small courtyard, a six seater most decks and an eight to ten seater a larger area, leaving at least 90cm around the table to move freely. Because outdoor furniture must stand up to sun, rain and salt air, the material matters, and it helps to look for chairs with supportive backs, fade resistant cushions and a table with an umbrella hole for shade.

• Powder coated aluminium for a light, rust resistant frame
• Synthetic rattan over aluminium for a relaxed, weather resistant look
• Treated timber such as acacia or teak for natural warmth
• Tempered glass or stone tops for an easy clean surface

Styles to Suit Your Space

Synthetic rattan brings a resort feel, timber suits a coastal look, and sleek aluminium and glass lend a contemporary edge, with neutral tones blending easily with greenery. Add extra seating with outdoor chairs, warm the space with fire pits and accessories, and explore the full outdoor furniture range.
