The camping table
A camping table is essential for a comfortable and cozy camping vacation. The camping table is not only used for eating, but also for preparing meals, playing games, or celebrating in good company. This camping accessory is used throughout the open-air season, not only at the campsite, but also in the garden, in the park, or on the beach.
What to look for in a camping table
Size
If you are camping as a couple, a small table is sufficient. This has the advantage of reducing the weight you have to carry. For four people or more, the table size needs to increase accordingly. In any case, a camping table can be folded flat so that it can be transported in a space-saving manner.
Stability
Outdoors, the ground is rarely as level as it is in a building. Therefore, pay attention to the stability of the frame. Every camper knows from experience that different rules apply outdoors than in living spaces. A ball may fly into the table and cause it to wobble. There are many different types of frames, some of which can be folded out like brackets. There are also tables with four fold-out legs. Legs that are adjustable in length are particularly helpful. This is indispensable on uneven terrain and guarantees maximum stability.
The weight
There is a wide selection! There are super-lightweight, foldable, and flexible models made of aluminum and fabric, but also heavy models made of metal, wood, or plastic. An extremely lightweight model weighs just 2 kg, while a camping table weighing 16 kg promises rock-solid stability. Another important factor is how you will transport the camping table. In a motorhome, you are more likely to be able to transport a heavyweight than in a car.
The easy-care camping table
There is no time for laborious furniture care on vacation. That is why camping tables are always made of easy-care materials. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.
- Plastic is lightweight and inexpensive to manufacture. A plastic surface can be cleaned in no time at all. However, plastic becomes brittle in the sun and fades easily. Its low UV resistance is one of the biggest disadvantages of plastic. If a leg, bracket, or the tabletop itself breaks, this material cannot be repaired. Plastic is also no longer as popular for environmental reasons.
- Bamboo is the newcomer among building materials. It is a renewable raw material and is extremely stable, elastic, and weather-resistant. A bamboo tabletop looks natural and unusual. Combined with an aluminum frame, it creates a beautiful look.
- Aluminum offers three advantages: it is very light, yet stable, and retains its matt silver surface for many years. The disadvantage is that aluminum heats up strongly in the sun. With aluminum table tops, this can be unpleasant during meals.
- Wood is suitable for the tabletop. If the frame were also made of wood, the model would be too heavy. A wooden surface always looks very natural and feels pleasant to the touch. However, you have to accept the higher weight.
Special features
A camping table can offer many other uses and special features. Some tables have a mesh shelf built into the underside of the tabletop, which can be used as a second level of storage space.
With height-adjustable telescopic legs, the model can be adapted to the size of its users or the intended use.
Outside the camping season, it can be used as a side table at parties or as a Gift table can be used.
