Garden Table — Ceramic, Weatherproof & Custom-Made

A garden table is the heart of your outdoor space. Whether you're enjoying a quiet breakfast in the morning sun or hosting a long dinner with friends — the right garden table makes all the difference. At Industrial Home, we deliberately choose ceramic garden tables on a robust steel base. This is no coincidence: ceramic is the best material for outdoors. Weatherproof, low-maintenance, timelessly beautiful.

Discover our range of ceramic garden tables — available in round, rectangular, and oval shapes, and fully customizable via our 3D configurator.

Why Ceramic is the Best Choice for Outdoors

Ceramic is naturally made for extreme conditions. The material is fired at over 1,200 °C, making it incredibly hard, dense, and resistant to everything the Dutch weather has to offer.

• UV-resistant: Ceramic does not fade in the sun. The color remains intact year after year, without yellowing or discoloration.
• Frost-resistant: Temperatures below freezing? No problem. Ceramic does not absorb moisture and does not crack when frozen.
• Heat-resistant: A hot pan directly from the barbecue onto the tabletop? Ceramic tolerates high temperatures without burning or discoloration.
• Rain-resistant: The non-porous surface does not allow water to pass through. No mold, moss, or stains will form due to humidity.
• Zero maintenance: Cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient. No oils, impregnating agents, or special cleaning products are needed.
• Scratch-resistant: The glazed surface has a hardness of 7+ on the Mohs scale — cutlery, glasses, and crockery leave no scratches.

In short: a ceramic garden table from Industrial Home will last for decades without significant deterioration. That is sustainability in the true sense of the word.

Ceramic vs. Other Materials — A Fair Comparison

There are many materials for garden tables on the market. We compare them fairly so you can make an informed choice.

Material	Maintenance	Weather Resistance	Lifespan	Appearance
Ceramic	Minimal	Excellent	20+ years	Timeless, premium
Aluminum	Low	Good	10-15 years	Cold, basic
Plastic	Easy	Moderate (yellows)	5-10 years	Cheap looking

Ceramic scores highest on all fronts. The initial investment is slightly higher, but the total cost over the lifespan is actually lower — due to zero maintenance costs and an extreme lifespan.

Shapes: Round, Rectangular, or Oval

The shape of your garden table determines the atmosphere of your outdoor space. At Industrial Home, all our ceramic garden tables are available in three shapes.

Round Garden Table

A round garden table is ideal for small to medium-sized patios. The round shape encourages conversation — everyone sits equally close. No corners, so it's also safer if children are playing. Popular diameters: 80 cm, 120 cm, and 160 cm.

Rectangular Garden Table

The most versatile shape. Fits perfectly against a straight facade or patio edge. Suitable for larger gatherings and available as extendable for extra flexibility. Popular dimensions: 160x90 cm and 220x100 cm.

Oval Garden Table

The oval garden table combines the best of both worlds: the soft lines of a round table with the capacity of a rectangular one. Perfect for those who want to combine style and functionality.

The Steel Base — Industrial Quality

At Industrial Home, our ceramic garden tables come standard with a steel base. Steel aligns with our industrial design philosophy and offers excellent strength for outdoor use.

• Stainless steel or powder-coated steel: We use high-quality steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, so the base is resistant to rain and moisture.
• Powder coating: The powder coating provides an even, matte or glossy finish that does not peel or discolor. Available in black, white, gray, and custom RAL colors.
• Industrial look: The steel frame gives each ceramic garden table a robust, timeless look that fits perfectly with a modern or industrial outdoor interior.
• Stability: Solid steel provides a stable base — even on tiles or slightly uneven surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ceramic Garden Tables

Is ceramic suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, absolutely. Ceramic is one of the most weather-resistant materials for outdoor furniture. It is UV-resistant (does not fade in the sun), frost-resistant (does not absorb moisture and does not crack), heat-resistant, and completely rain-resistant. Our ceramic garden tables are specially selected for quality classes suitable for year-round outdoor use.

How much maintenance does a ceramic garden table need?

Practically none. Cleaning a ceramic garden table is done with a damp cloth and possibly a mild soap solution. No oils, impregnating agents, or abrasives are needed. The non-porous surface prevents stains from coffee, wine, or food from soaking in. One of the biggest advantages over other materials.

What is the advantage of a round garden table outdoors?

A round garden table has no sharp corners, which is safer for children and provides more freedom of movement on a patio. Due to the round shape, there is no "worst" seat at the table — everyone sits equally close, and conversation flows more naturally. Ideal for enjoyable outdoor dining with friends or family. A round garden table also looks particularly elegant on a small patio or courtyard.

Can I order a custom-made garden table?

Certainly. Industrial Home offers full customization options. Via our 3D configurator, you can easily assemble your own garden table — from the exact dimensions to the color of the ceramic and the base. Do you have an unusual size or a special request? Contact us, and we will provide a custom quote. Custom garden tables are typically delivered within 4-6 weeks.

Is a ceramic garden table frost-resistant?

Yes. High-quality outdoor ceramic has a moisture absorption of less than 0.5 percent (technical standard for frost resistance). This means that virtually no water penetrates the material, so nothing can expand or crack when frozen. Our ceramic garden tables are suitable for use in all Dutch seasons, including harsh winters.

Garden Table as the Centerpiece of Your Outdoor Space

A garden table is more than just practical furniture — it is the heart of your patio or garden. Around a beautiful garden table, family and friends gather for long summer evenings, breakfast in the sun, or cozy BBQ sessions. Therefore, choose a garden table that not only looks good but also lasts for years despite changing weather conditions. Ceramic with a steel base is the wisest choice: the material does not discolor, does not flake, and does not need to be treated every season. You just enjoy — year after year.

At Industrial Home, you can fully customize your garden table to your wishes. Choose the shape that suits your patio — a round garden table for a compact outdoor area, a rectangular one for large patios with many guests, or an oval as an intermediate solution. Feel free to send us your own drawing or sketch; we will custom-make it for you.
