Escape Boat Shaped Outdoor Dining Table

Details at a Glance

Fully welded aluminum construction resists corrosion in rain, coastal salt air, and temperature swings without cracking or rusting. The Lloyd Flanders Escape Boat Shaped Outdoor Dining Table in matte charcoal is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 86.5 inches long, the boat-shaped profile seats six to eight comfortably and fits narrower deck footprints without sacrificing table space.

How Does Welded Aluminum Handle Sun, Rain, and Humidity?

Welded aluminum frames never rust, even in full-weather exposure or coastal environments where steel would corrode. The powder-coated matte charcoal finish resists UV fade season after season, maintaining color without the cracking or blistering common in lesser-grade coatings. Aluminum's low thermal expansion prevents warping during summer heat or winter cold, so the 188-pound frame stays stable and level across temperature extremes without the seasonal movement you'll see in wood or composite tops.

Can This Stay Outside Year-Round?

Yes -- aluminum construction is engineered for year-round outdoor use and won't degrade from moisture or freeze-thaw cycles. A breathable cover will extend the finish's appearance if the table sits uncovered through snow and ice, but the material itself requires no off-season storage. Rinse the frame with a hose periodically to remove pollen or salt residue; no sealing, oiling, or sanding is ever needed.

Where Does a Boat-Shaped Table Fit Best?

The tapered profile works well on covered patios, narrow decks, or poolside settings where you need seating for six to eight without a full rectangular footprint. Pair it with dining chairs from our outdoor dining tables collection or position it near outdoor console tables and outdoor coffee tables to anchor an open-air living zone. The 188-pound weight holds steady in wind, so it's equally suited to exposed terraces or sheltered courtyards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the matte charcoal finish fade in direct sun?

No -- the powder-coated surface is formulated to resist UV degradation, so color stays consistent even in full-sun exposure over multiple seasons.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- aluminum resists corrosion in salt air and humid climates, making it a reliable choice for beachfront patios or waterfront decks where rust is a concern.

How many people does an 86.5-inch table seat comfortably?

Six to eight adults with standard dining chairs; the boat-shaped taper provides elbow room without the width of a full rectangular table.

Does this table include an umbrella hole?

No -- pair it with a freestanding patio umbrella nearby if you need shade, or position it under a pergola or covered patio for built-in sun protection.

How do I clean welded aluminum?

Rinse with a hose and wipe with mild soap and water; aluminum doesn't require sealing or oiling, and the powder coat resists staining from food or drink spills.

Does this ship assembled, and is delivery free?

Minimal assembly is required; free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA, and optional white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.
