Picnic Tables with Umbrella Hole Australia | Add Shade
Hardwood Picnic Tables with Umbrella Hole
Australia's UV index makes shade essential for outdoor furniture used more than occasionally. Auscraft can supply picnic tables with an umbrella hole — a 50mm-diameter stainless-steel-sleeved hole through the centre of the table top — as a standard or custom option. The sleeve prevents timber movement at the hole and accepts all standard market umbrella poles.
Why Shade Matters at the Australian Picnic Table
The Bureau of Meteorology rates most of Australia's outdoor use season (September–April) at UV index 11+ in coastal areas. A single table with an umbrella can shelter 4–6 people from direct UV during peak hours. For commercial settings — beer gardens, cafe terraces, school yards — umbrella holes are increasingly standard.
