Outdoor Dining

Our tables are handcrafted from premium Australian hardwoods like Jarrah and Blackbutt, paired with stainless steel frames for strength. Unlike mass-produced pieces, each table is custom-built to suit your space, ensuring longevity in Perth’s coastal climate.

Store-bought outdoor settings are usually made from lightweight imported timbers, aluminium frames, or low-grade composites that simply aren’t designed for long-term exposure to WA weather. By building each table using marine-grade adhesives, outdoor-tested joinery, and solid hardwood, we create furniture that feels substantial, stays structurally sound, and ages beautifully, not something that needs replacing every couple of summers.

Yes. Whether you need a small two-seater for a balcony or a large table for family gatherings, we design each piece to fit your space perfectly. We also offer matching benches and chairs for a complete set.

Because every dining area is different, custom sizing ensures the table fits comfortably without blocking walkways or feeling oversized. We often design around how families actually use their spaces whether that’s long Sunday lunches, hosting friends, or creating a multi-use alfresco zone. Custom sizing gives you the freedom to choose the proportions, seating arrangement, leg style and overall layout that work best for your home.

Our tables are engineered for durability. With protective finishes, UV resistance, and marine-grade stainless steel, they withstand salt spray, heat, and heavy use, making them ideal for Perth’s outdoor lifestyle.

Perth’s weather is uniquely challenging: strong sun, dry heat, and bursts of winter rain can quickly break down standard outdoor furniture. We build with these conditions in mind by using dense Australian hardwoods and construction techniques drawn from boat-building and exterior carpentry. Everything from the joinery to the finishing oils is chosen to minimise movement, prevent moisture entry, and protect the timber over the long term.

Absolutely. Many of our clients love bar-height outdoor tables for relaxed entertaining. We can create bar tables, traditional dining sets, or hybrid designs depending on your needs.

Bar-height tables are especially popular in homes that love casual gatherings, weekend drinks, or poolside entertaining. Because each piece is custom-built, we can tailor the height, width, length, and seating style to suit your alfresco layout. Whether you prefer stools, benches, or mixed seating, we ensure the proportions feel comfortable and the design suits the way you live and entertain.

Most projects take between 4–6 weeks from consultation to delivery, depending on the size and design complexity. We’ll provide a clear timeline and keep you updated every step of the way.

This timeframe includes the initial consultation, site assessment if needed, design approval, sourcing of timber, fabrication, sanding, finishing, and final installation or delivery. Larger builds or complex seating combinations may take slightly longer, but we’ll always ensure expectations are clear from the start. Our process is hands-on and transparent so you always know where your project is up to.

Choosing the right outdoor dining set goes beyond finding something that looks good on the day you buy it. The best pieces are made from durable hardwoods such as Jarrah or Blackbutt, which hold up exceptionally well in Perth’s harsh sun, dry heat, and winter rain. Pay attention to how the furniture is constructed: strong mechanical joints, stainless-steel fixings, and adhesives rated for exterior or marine use help prevent movement, swelling, and cracking over time. Comfort also matters. A dining table built around the ideal 740 mm height creates an inviting, natural posture for long meals, and the seating arrangement should feel balanced and proportionate to the size of your outdoor space. A high-quality outdoor dining set should feel solid, stable, and comfortable, and above all, it should stay that way season after season. When choosing the right set, select something that suits your lifestyle, supports how you entertain, and offers the longevity to grow with your home.

The best outdoor seating layout is one that works with the natural flow of your space rather than interrupting it. Outdoor areas often serve multiple purposes: dining, relaxing, entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day so the layout needs to support this without feeling crowded or awkward. Consider how people will move through the area and how sunlight, shade, and weather affect each corner of the space. Seating placed in full sun may need different materials and covers than seating in a sheltered spot. Conversation flow is important too; an L-shaped lounge encourages social connection, while straight bench seating provides structure for dining, and individual chairs offer flexibility. Russell often inspects the space in person because small details, like where people naturally enter an alfresco area or how close a barbecue sits to the main seating, dramatically influence what layout works best. A well-designed seating plan feels effortless to live with; everything sits where it makes sense, looks balanced, and supports the way you naturally use your outdoor area.

Custom furniture is often a worthwhile investment because it’s made to suit your exact space, needs, and lifestyle. Unlike store-bought pieces, which come in predetermined sizes and materials, custom furniture fits perfectly without wasting space or feeling oversized. It’s also built with higher-quality materials and stronger joinery, which means it may last far longer outdoors. In Russell’s case, custom work includes practical touches such as cotton or linen cushion covers, long-lasting IKEA mattress inserts, and envelope-style replacements that make cleaning and maintenance simple. These small details make day-to-day use more comfortable, hygienic, and cost-effective. While custom furniture may cost more upfront, many homeowners find it a smarter long-term decision because the pieces age well, withstand Perth’s climate, and can be refreshed or adapted instead of replaced. For those who want furniture that feels intentional and genuinely made for their home, custom is often the better choice.

Good-quality furniture has a certain presence; it feels solid, balanced, and carefully made. One of the biggest indicators is the material; dense Australian hardwoods like Jarrah and Blackbutt naturally resist warping and weathering, making them ideal for outdoor use. The joinery is another clear sign. Strong furniture uses stainless-steel fixings, welded reinforcements where needed, and exterior- or marine-grade glue that prevents water from seeping into the timber. A high-quality piece will also be smooth to the touch, with even sanding and finishing that show attention to detail. Weight and stability matter too; a table that wobbles or feels flimsy is unlikely to last outdoors. Cushion fabrics and covers play a role as well, especially in Perth’s climate. Breathable materials such as cotton, linen, and denim are more comfortable and more resilient in the heat than polyester blends. Finally, good furniture is made by someone who understands the conditions it will live in. When a maker builds specifically for Perth’s weather and lifestyle, the result is furniture that performs well for years rather than a single season.
