With the onset of spring, long-awaited outdoor picnics and weekend excursions to nature by a large company begin. To rest was not only cheerful, but also comfortable, you should take care of where to arrange a tablecloth with a self-harness with simple food. For convenience of food adoption, modern manufacturers offer to use a folding tourist table, which will not sit on the damp grass, and relax in a civilized manner.
What do folding tourist tables produce?
Materials that are used for the production of furniture for recreation on nature a few:
- plastic (polyvinylchloride);
- aluminum or duralumin;
- tree;
- metal.
Everyone understands that the easier the tourist folding compact tables, the more convenient they are. Some models can not only be transported in the trunk of a car, but even carried behind your back like a backpack - these are mostly plastic models or combined with an aluminum alloy.
By the way, the combined models of the tourist folding table, which is transformed into a suitcase, are appearing more and more, and in fact more recently, tables often had a monocomponent composition. Such a combination of materials makes it possible to produce folding furniture of small weight, to make it more compact and resistant to shocks and weather conditions.
As before, aluminum and its relative duralumin (more resistant to damage than aluminum) is actively used for making tables for nature. Most often, the material is used for the transformation mechanism, for edging the table top and for all kinds of fasteners, when it comes to a folding tourist table with chairs. But the surface of the table top can be anything - MDF, plastic, wood.
A fully wooden folding tourist table and chairs to it will be somewhat heavier than the combined one, and will take up more space in the trunk of the car, since the transformation mechanism does not allow making a compact suitcase out of it. But it has advantages in the form of eco-friendliness and a pleasant tactile sensation in contact.
There are little tables, the table top of which is completely made of wood, and such that the crinkled cloth represents a malfunction. The second option is less preferable, since small items like cups, forks and spoons will fall into the notches between the slats, even if the table is laid with an oilcloth.
Typically, if the legs of the table and benches are not arc-shaped, but are pointed, they are equipped at the ends with plastic caps, which do not allow the folding furniture to fall into the ground under the weight.
The transformation mechanism
There are several options for folding tables for tourism. If the stools and benches are not included with them, then basically such tables have a loop mechanism, thanks to which the table top folds in half. And the legs bend under each of their parts. As a result, a rather compact suitcase is obtained.
If the folding tourist thickness is one-piece with a bench or stools, then it will take up more space, because it is transformed, bending in half, but the legs are not folded. This design will not be too bulky, but large enough around the perimeter.
Some variants of folding tables suggest taking out
The same applies to the folding tourist table with an umbrella, which is very convenient both in sunny and rainy weather. In the middle of this table there is a special round hole for the diameter of the rack. At the bottom, it can be attached to the table and legs, or it can have a separate weighted heel, which gives it stability. The whole design is divided into components - a heel, a rack and the umbrella itself, which can be tied to the trunk on the roof of the car.
