How do I store outdoor tables in winter?

Even if outdoor tables have been specially developed for outdoor use and can withstand the weather well: In winter, you should still store your tables indoors. A room that is well ventilated but frost-proof and protected from light is best. If you have to store the tables outdoors over the winter, you should cover them with a suitable protective cover.

Smaller tables are usually required in an ice cream parlor, bar or café. The reason for this is simple: there is less space for crockery and glasses on the table. Practical bistro outdoor tables are suitable here. In restaurants, on the other hand, you should plan a little more generously so that china, glasses and co. can be arranged in such a way that your guests can eat comfortably.
