4 Seater Picnic Table Australia -- Custom Hardwood | Auscraft
Auscraft builds custom 4 seater picnic tables in Australian hardwood -- Spotted Gum, Ironbark and Merbau. Handcrafted in West Gosford, NSW. Built to order with a standard length of 1200mm, ideal for compact outdoor spaces including balconies, small courtyards and cafe terraces.
What Is a 4 Seater Picnic Table?
A 4 seater picnic table seats two people on each bench side, with a standard table length of approximately 1200mm. Each seat position allows around 450mm of elbow room per person -- comfortable for dining and conversation without feeling cramped.
The compact footprint makes the 4 seater the right choice when space is the primary constraint. It fits where a standard 6 seater (1800mm) simply will not go, while still delivering the hardwood quality and structural integrity Auscraft is known for.

Where a 4 Seater Works Best
- Balconies and courtyard spaces -- the 1200mm length fits where a 6 seater would overhang or obstruct access
- Small private gardens -- a single table for a household with young children or a downsized outdoor area
- Cafe terraces and hospitality fronts -- tight street-side seating that still reads as quality outdoor dining
- School play areas and learning gardens -- compact group seating scaled for younger students
- Outdoor breakout rooms -- workplace outdoor areas where space is limited but staff still need a proper table

Frequently Asked Questions -- 4 Seater Picnic Tables
What is the standard length of a 4 seater picnic table?
A standard 4 seater picnic table is approximately 1200mm long, seating two people per side with around 450mm of space per person. Auscraft can build to custom lengths between 1000mm and 1400mm depending on your site constraints. All dimensions are confirmed at the quoting stage.
Can a 4 seater picnic table be used on a balcony?
Yes. A 4 seater picnic table at 1200mm length is the most common choice for balcony installations in Australia. Auscraft can also build to narrower widths and lighter timber selections if floor load is a consideration. Provide your balcony dimensions when requesting a quote and we will advise on the best configuration.
How long does a hardwood 4 seater picnic table last outdoors?
Auscraft 4 seater picnic tables are built from Durability Class 1 Australian hardwood (Spotted Gum, Ironbark or Merbau). With annual oiling, a Class 1 hardwood table will last 25 to 40 years above ground in typical Australian outdoor conditions. This is the same durability class specified in most council and government outdoor furniture procurement standards.
