Best Patio TableTops Buying Guide
Before choosing the best patio table top you should consider the following options:
1. Ease of Installation: Not all table tops are created equally when it comes to ease of installation. Some may require special tools to assemble. Some may require special glues. Some may require special connectors.
Other table tops may come in pieces and therefore require an easy method of assembly. Avoid any table tops that require special tools for installation.
2. Ease of Maintenance: How easy is it to clean your tabletop? What kinds of materials are used in the construction? Will it hold up over time or will it need to be replaced in a few years?
Some materials, such as cast iron, are very durable and will last for decades. Other materials, like some types of plastic, will need to be replaced in a few years.
3. Budget: Some tables tops range from $50 to $500. Determine your budget and then shop accordingly.

Consider your backyard when deciding the style of the tabletop. If your backyard is elegant and pristine, you may want to avoid a table top that looks industrial and rugged.

Not only do you need to think about the size of guests, but also the size of your tabletop relative to the size of your table frame.
You wouldn’t want to throw a party and have people standing around a table that was too small for the frame.
