Can I put my table outside?

19 years ago

Hi all, any advise? Just moved into a new house and have an oak dining table I can't use inside. I'm not positive but I think it's red oak???? Is there something I can do to put this out on a covered screened porch to protect it from warping, cracking, etc...? Thanks all.

You will have to fully paint the table to endure long-term, outdoor us. And keep the legs elevated and out of the water.

I had the same dillema for using my table inside. Totally ruined it putting outside and it was a good table too. Thankfully the base was heavy metal scroll. Am going to give it my daughter to go back where it belongs...inside. But now have to glue/clamp the top back together and reseal. It didn't warp, but pulled apart at the seams.

Maybe in an enclosed porch with extra protection wouldn't be as subject to ruin, but it was sad to see my table head south and happened quickly.

Advisably not, unless you can put a waterproof cover on it.
