Arlau builds this commercial picnic table around a 46-inch square steel mesh top, a φ42 mm welded pipe frame and a thermoplastic coating system over DuPont outdoor powder. If you are writing the spec for a 46 inch picnic table that has to hold up in public use, this page maps every orderable variable — surface style, coating, fastener grade, anchoring and ADA layout — to the quote line it answers.
Spec snapshot
Every figure below comes from the table's own specification block. Anything not shown here is a quote-time decision, not an assumption.
Size and footprint
Two configurations are referenced on the product page. The table below separates tabletop size from overall footprint so a quote request can be written without mixing the two.
| Configuration | Seating | Tabletop | Seats | Height | Weight | Anchoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square four-person Model reference TB01 / TB10-2 |
4 per table | 46" × 46", 2" thick | 38" × 12", 2" thick, 18" high | 30½" | 270 lbs | Permanent anchoring |
| ADA-compliant version Referenced on the product page |
ADA layout — confirm count | 46" × 46", 2" thick | Open end for wheelchair access — confirm | 30½" | Confirm on quote | Permanent anchoring |
| Quote-confirmed items Not fixed by the page |
— | Surface style | Colour / finish | Mounting detail | Quantity | Site type |
Surface style
Both surface styles are listed for this table, and both are made from 2.5–3.0 mm steel plate mesh. The choice changes drainage behaviour and the look of the finished table, so make it a line item rather than a surprise.
The open mesh is described as preventing water and debris buildup, drying quickly and staying easy to maintain. In practice that means rain passes through, leaves blow clear and cleaning needs less pressure.
Specify it when: drainage, debris pass-through and low-effort upkeep are the priorities.
The page lists a punched steel style alongside the mesh version, with the same 2.5–3.0 mm plate gauge and the same thermoplastic coating system. Pattern and open area are set per order.
Specify it when: a more uniform, solid-looking surface matters more than open drainage.
Both surfaces carry the non-porous thermoplastic finish that resists stains, mildew, fungus and dirt buildup. Choose on debris and drainage first, appearance second — then confirm the exact pattern, gauge and finish on the quote.
Protection
Service life on an outdoor steel table is decided by three layers: the coating over the steel, the powder coat beneath it and the grade of every screw holding it together.
A 270 lb welded steel frame will outlast the joints that hold it together if the fixings are the weak link. Because this table is anchored in public ground and cannot be brought indoors, every screw is exposed to rain, irrigation and cleaning chemicals for its whole life.
304 stainless steel is the grade stated for this model. Put the screw grade, the coating system and the colour on the same quote line so nothing gets substituted during fulfilment.
Installation
The page describes the table as designed for permanent, secure anchoring to prevent tipping or theft, and also notes that it assembles and relocates easily. Treat the mounting method as a decision on your quote, not a default.
The primary stated configuration: fixed to the ground to stop tipping and theft in parks, campuses and streetscapes. A 270 lb steel table plus a fixed base is what makes it vandal-resistant in a public setting.
Choose this for: unsupervised public sites and anything on a maintenance schedule measured in years.
The page also describes the table as portable and easy to assemble and relocate. That suits seasonal layouts, event spaces and private yards where the table moves between positions.
Choose this for: grounds where re-planning happens annually — and confirm the mounting kit on the quote.
An ADA-compliant version is referenced alongside the standard four-person model. Confirm seat count, open-side clearances and approach space with your quote so the installation matches local accessibility requirements.
Choose this for: any publicly funded site or campus with an accessibility obligation.
Scenario to spec
Each venue below pairs one verified product fact with the decision that fact should trigger in your spec.
Product fact: expanded mesh stops water and debris buildup; 304 stainless screws hold the joints.
Decision: specify the mesh surface, permanent anchoring and — where required — the ADA-compliant version.
Product fact: 270 lbs of welded steel with permanent anchoring to prevent tipping or theft.
Decision: lock in permanent anchoring and standard black, then confirm the footprint before pouring pads.
Product fact: non-porous thermoplastic finish resists stains, mildew, fungus and dirt buildup.
Decision: budget for wipe-down maintenance rather than repainting, and choose a fade-resistant colour.
Product fact: custom fade-resistant thermoplastic colours are available alongside standard black.
Decision: match the table colour to the site palette and confirm the colour code on the quote.
Product fact: the table assembles and relocates, on a φ42 mm welded pipe frame.
Decision: choose the relocatable mounting option instead of permanent anchoring.
Product fact: matching benches, trash cans, bicycle racks and planter boxes can be supplied.
Decision: bundle the site furniture onto one quote so finishes and fixings stay consistent.
Because the matching benches, bins, racks and planters come from the same supplier, the coating system and colour can be specified once for the entire project. That is the difference between a coordinated streetscape and four deliveries of four slightly different blacks.

Engineered for public spaces, this round outdoor picnic table provides a durable, all weather picnic table solution from a premier steel picnic table manufacturer.
View productthe tabletop is 46" × 46" and 2" thick at 30½" high. seats are 38" × 12", 2" thick and 18" high. total weight is 270 lbs. the page also lists an 80" × 80" overall table dimension, so treat that as the full footprint rather than the tabletop and confirm it on your quote.
both surface styles are listed for this model, made from 2.5–3.0 mm steel plate mesh. expanded mesh is described as preventing water and debris buildup and drying quickly. confirm the exact pattern and gauge for punched steel on your quote.
the steel carries a thermoplastic coating described as resistant to chipping, scratching, uv fading and corrosion, applied over dupont outdoor powder coating. the non-porous finish resists stains, mildew, fungus and dirt buildup, and all fixings are 304 stainless steel screws.
the primary description is permanent, secure anchoring to prevent tipping or theft in public spaces, supported by the 270 lb steel build. the page also describes the table as portable and easy to assemble and relocate. state which mounting method you need when you request the quote.
yes — an ada-compliant version is referenced alongside the standard four-person model, with seat count and clearances to be confirmed on the quote. the page shows both tb01 and tb10-2 as model references, so ask the supplier to confirm which one applies to your order.
the page shows a gray finish and states that standard black is offered. custom fade-resistant thermoplastic coating colours are available. matching outdoor benches, trash cans, bicycle racks and planter boxes can be supplied, which lets one quote carry the coating and colour across the whole site.
