subject: Camping tables and how to select them [print this page] Camping tables are an essential part of any camper's equipment, and allow for an adequate area to eat and, prepare food. More than this, they are also excellent for a many other uses where a flat level surface is required, be it an area for the kids to play or to update your social networking status and catch up with friends.
As camping becomes ever more popular, the need for increasingly sophisticated camping tables has seen the major manufacturers dedicate time and attention to designing the best solutions. At Outdoor World Direct, our excellent range from the likes of Gelert, Outwell, Royal and Vango presents the best available, made to the highest standards and best quality.
When deciding which will make the best option, it is important to consider the environment it will be used in. Ideally, a camping table will be easily transportable, though it is also important to ensure that adequate space is given for its use.
Some years ago, many people used wallpaper pasting tables when they headed off to the great outdoors. Designers of modern tables have used this as a starting point with their but naturally, modern materials and advanced engineering techniques have moved things forward somewhat, so transporting them is easier, they have increased rigidity, and no smells if their surface becomes wet!
Camping tables will most often have collapsible legs; which will either fold down or be telescopic. There are also types available where the legs are removed in one piece, but these are not as popular as they once were. Many modern tables use a roll away feature; constructed of fabric, which are ideal to fit into the smallest of spaces.
For small parties trekking over a couple of days, a fabric foldaway table will be the best option; it is light enough and easily collapsible to fit into a backpack. These are also ideal for festival goers. Quick and easy to pack up, they save a great deal of time as well as being excellent space savers too.
For families however, something a little larger made of aluminium will be better. These are easy to collapse down too, so are ideal for travelling by car, but possess enough strength and for most uses. Whether using a trailer or roof rack to transport them, or simply storing in the boot of a car, they are a great choice.
If selecting larger camping tables, chairs will also most likely be needed. In this regard, many sets come with chairs to match and can be bought together for the best deals. Deck chairs can be used, but these do not offer the sturdiness, comfort or practicality of specifically designed chairs, which also removes the problems of people having to sit at different heights at the table.
Whether looking for easy camp fabric options, or something more akin to flyaway dining table, Outdoor World Direct has a wide range to choose from. With durability and performance as standard, our selection is amongst the best available, and with a dedicated team available to help make your choice, we are sure you will not be disappointed.
