Choosing Your Timber Species
All Auscraft 6 seater picnic tables are built from Durability Class 1 Australian hardwood. Species selection affects appearance, hardness and price:
- Spotted Gum -- rich fiddleback grain, warm honey tones. Class 1, 11 kN. Popular in residential and hospitality settings.
- Ironbark -- the hardest and most durable Australian hardwood. Class 1, 14 kN. Recommended for high-traffic or exposed locations.
- Merbau -- naturally oily with a reddish-brown colour. Class 1, 8.5 kN. Ideal for Queensland and tropical regions.
All timber is oiled before dispatch. A maintenance oil every 12 months keeps the table looking new for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions -- 6 Seater Picnic Tables
What is the standard size of a 6 seater picnic table in Australia?
The standard 6 seater picnic table in Australia is 1800mm long and 750mm wide, with a table height of 750mm and a seat height of 450mm. This is the most common configuration used in parks, schools and residential gardens across Australia. Auscraft can build to custom dimensions if your space requires a non-standard length or width.
How much space do I need for a 6 seater picnic table?
Allow a minimum of 3000mm x 2000mm of clear space for a 6 seater picnic table -- 1800mm table length plus at least 600mm each end for people to sit down and stand up, and 750mm each side beyond the bench ends. A 3500mm x 2500mm space gives comfortable clearance. For parks and public areas, the standard bay size is 4000mm x 3000mm per table.
Is the 6 seater picnic table suitable for commercial use?
Yes. Auscraft's 6 seater models -- particularly the Heavy Duty Commercial Grade -- are built for commercial use in schools, parks, councils, cafes and hospitality venues. The Heavy Duty model uses heavier timber sections and additional structural bracing compared to the standard residential model. Specify your commercial application at the quoting stage and we will recommend the correct construction.
