There are some things that are cherished by people of all
ages. Just the mention of it brings happiness along with it. Of many such
things picnic certainly deserves a foremost position. Picnic refers to a
pleasure trip where a meal is had in a predominantly outdoor area having a
scenic landscape mostly among family members. Picnics often provide the best
way to escape the monotony and constantly rising performance related pressures
in the work environment.
Eating forms a major part of picnics; it could range
anything from a simple meal to a banquet, of the highest culinary delight. But
ironically, picnics if ill-planned end up in a sordid mess, making it to be
remembered for all the wrong reasons. For example, how many times you find
people carrying their finest pastries and mouth-watering dishes, only to find
that they don’t have a proper place to sit and have them.
To make your picnic hassle free and have a perfect meal in a
picnic spot, you need to have a picnic bench or table with you. Picnic
benches/tables are simple tables that are modified a bit with benches and
trusses exclusively for the purpose of having an outdoor meal. Picnic benches
come in a variety of sizes and colours and are priced somewhere between USD$250
to USD$700, depending on its portability and material used to manufacture it.
There are various advantages offered by picnic tables. Of
which the prime gain is its portability, for a picnic table can be easily
folded and put comfortably in your car bonnet, to accompany on your picnic
trips. The unfolding process too is very quick and easy. A picnic table on an
average seats 5-7 adults comfortably.
Further unlike a traditional mat or rug, picnic tables offer
the best way to have a light interaction or a romantic banter. Also, they don’t
need a flat surface to place them, so that you can enjoy your picnic rather
than pondering over the slope of the terrain. While the older models were made
entirely of wood, the newer versions are made of wood reinforced with steel to
prevent sagging and coated with a thermoplastic resin to support easy cleaning
and impart a glossy sheen to the surface. The resin also imparts moisture
resistant properties to the table, preventing it from corrosion and warping.
These tables also dry out quickly when cleaned. Also, eco-friendly models made
of recycled plastic are available. These are light in weight and can be part of
your picnic backpack without any unnecessary effort. After all, what is a picnic
without fun and games? Picnic tables don’t let this go unnoticed, as they are
also available with gaming boards carved on them. These tables have become a
runaway success particularly with young minds craving for fun games. To escape
from the capricious climate, they are provided with a centre stand to
accommodate beach umbrellas.
Though named so,
picnic tables do not restrict themselves to picnic trips alone. They could also
be used in parks and even in offices and residential places having outdoor
recreational facilities. So, if you really wish your picnic trip to be
remembered for all its fun and frolic rather than an eternal quest for the
right, clean place to squat in awkward positions to have your meal, do remember
to pop in a picnic table up to your car bonnet.
Have a memorable picnic!
