Extendable Outdoor Tables

Types of extendable outdoor tables

The models in this selection are categorized by their closed size, maximum capacity, and tabletop material. Understanding these variables is the first step to choosing the right one.

Compact extendable tables: from 140 cm to 210 cm

The Nardi Rio Extensibleis the benchmark for medium-sized terraces. When closed, it measures 140x85 cm (4-6 seats); when extended, it reaches 210 cm to accommodate up to 8-10 people. The tabletop is made of DurelTopresin — a material that mimics natural texture, is warm to the touch, and can be cleaned with water and neutral soap. The aluminum frame, treated with epoxy powder coating, does not rust and holds up well in coastal environments. It is available in white and dove grey.

The Moia Greenwood Maiorcacovers the same size range (160/210 cm) with a Resin Woodtabletop, which reproduces the look of wood while maintaining all the resistance of resin. Available in white and anthracite.

Medium tables: from 160 cm to 300 cm

The Bizzotto Konnoris the most versatile model in the selection: available in two configurations — 160/240 cm and 200/300 cm — in anthracite or white aluminum. It is suitable for both private gardens and contract settings. The frames are reinforced, and the surfaces are easy to sanitize.

The Bizzotto Kiplin, from 180 to 240 cm, offers an aluminum frame in anthracite and white finishes, with a more essential design, conceived for medium-sized terraces.

Large and hospitality tables: from 200 cm to 398 cm

For large gardens or important social gatherings, there are solutions that reach considerable sizes. The Bizzotto Pascal— available with a stone-effect top in anthracite, white, and Pelican white variants — measures 200 cm when closed and extends up to 260 cm, seating 12-14 people.

The Moia Greenwood Santorini, in the white aluminum version, starts at 265 cm and extends up to 398 cm: a solution designed for large outdoor spaces or hospitality. The Moia Greenwood Arenzano, at 211/276 cm in wood-effect anthracite, completes the range for those who want generous dimensions with a more natural aesthetic.

How to choose an extendable outdoor table

1. Measure the available space

Before choosing the closed size, also calculate the open size: around the table, you need at least 80-100 cm of clear space to allow chairs to slide and people to pass. On a 3x3 m terrace, a 140/210 cm table is the most functional choice. In a garden over 4x4 m, the 200/300 cm option also opens up.

2. How many people should it accommodate at most?

Allow approximately 60 cm of width per person. A table extended to 210 cm comfortably seats 8-10 people; at 280-300 cm, it can seat 12-14. If large dinners are the exception, it's better to opt for a more compact model when closed — easier to manage and less bulky for everyday use.

3. Tabletop material: resin, HPL, or wood effect

  • DurelTop resin(Nardi): high UV resistance, easy to clean, compact surface.
  • HPL(Bizzotto Konnor, Pascal): high-pressure laminate, more rigid and impact-resistant, matte finishes that do not reflect the sun.
  • Resin Wood(Moia Greenwood): wood appearance, technical properties of resin — aesthetic choice without the maintenance of real wood.

4. Finish and aesthetic context

White and dove grey integrate well with natural furnishings, light cushions, and Mediterranean contexts. Anthracite and black suit more urban spaces or modern architecture. The wood effect combines visual warmth and water resistance. Pair them with outdoor chairsfrom the same brand to coordinate structures and finishes.

5. Mechanism: integrated or extractable extension leaf

With an integrated extension, the leaf is always within the table and slides on rails: it only takes a few seconds to open it. With an extractable one, the closed table is more compact, but the leaf must be retrieved and inserted manually. For those who open the table often, the integrated one is more convenient.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an integrated and an extractable extension leaf?

The integrated extension leaf slides on internal guides and positions itself automatically in the center: it does not require separate storage and opens in a few seconds. The extractable one is stored under the tabletop or separately — the closed table is more compact, but it requires a manual insertion operation.

How many people can a 140/210 cm extendable table accommodate?

Closed at 140 cm, it comfortably seats 4-6 people. Open at 210 cm, it seats 8-10, calculating approximately 60 cm of space per person and leaving central space for dishes and servings.

Are extendable outdoor tables resistant to rain and sun?

Yes: powder-coated aluminum, DurelTop resin, and HPL are waterproof and UV-resistant. The sliding mechanisms are protected from corrosion. However, covering with breathable tarps in winter or storing during prolonged periods of non-use is recommended.

How are resin and HPL tabletops cleaned?

Warm water and neutral soap with a soft cloth. Avoid solvents, chlorine-based products, and abrasive sponges: they can scratch or dull the surface. For stubborn stains, use a specific cleaner for outdoor surfaces.

What is the difference between Nardi and Bizzotto tables?

Nardi specializes in the outdoor contract sector: it uses aluminum with marine alloys, patented mechanisms, and DurelTop resin with certified UV-resistant finishes. Bizzotto offers solutions that combine contemporary aesthetics and structural robustness, with HPL tops and a wider range of color combinations.

Do extension mechanisms require maintenance?

Annual lubrication of the sliding guides with silicone spray is sufficient. The accumulation of dust and organic residues in the guides should be avoided: periodic cleaning ensures smooth operation and prevents premature wear of moving parts.

Combinations and related products

An extendable table works best with chairs chosen with the same use range in mind. You can explore the entire range on the outdoor tablespage, which also includes fixed and different shaped models.

If you are considering fixed solutions, the fixed tablessection offers alternatives that are often more compact and structurally rigid — useful when the space never changes. For those who also want to coordinate their interior furnishings, you can explore indoor tables.

To complete your outdoor furniture, pair the table with outdoor chairs— available in aluminum and polypropylene in the same finishes — or with outdoor stoolsfor a lounge or side bar area. If, on the other hand, the project concerns a commercial space, the dedicated guide to contract outdoor tablesgathers the most relevant information for bars, restaurants, and outdoor dining areas.

L'Arcolaio selects these models by evaluating construction quality, availability of spare parts, and ease of combination with the rest of the outdoor catalog. For questions about the right size or compatible finishes, our team is available via chat and email.
