Your garden table is built to be enjoyed, from your peaceful morning cup of coffee to alfresco dining with friends late into the evening. However, constant exposure to the elements and everyday use can quickly take its toll.
But before you start shopping for cumbersome wax tablecloths we have a sleek, modern solution that will protect your garden table while looking the part.
A custom outdoor table top protector offers a simple way to shield the surface from further damage while helping to keep it looking its best for years to come.
Made from clear, durable acrylic and cut to your exact measurements, our table top protectors provide a neat, made-to-measure fit for a wide range of garden tables from wooden picnic benches to rattan garden furniture. Whether you’re adding a new lease of life to a worn table, or protecting a new purchase, a bespoke acrylic table top could be the answer.
Why garden tables need extra protection
It can be easy to forget just how much your garden furniture goes through. From scratches to stains, scuffs, weathering, and not to mention the occasional rogue football, even the best quality garden furniture can start to lose its appearance over time.
A custom outdoor table top protector preserves your furniture from:
- Scratches
- Food spills and drink stains.
- Weathering and sun damage
- Outdoor hobbies
- Falling leaves and bird droppings
Investing in quality garden furniture isn’t cheap, so it makes sense to protect it. Rather than constantly storing it away or covering it with bulky furniture covers, a custom table top protector protects your table without hiding it away.
The perfect fit, every time
If there’s one thing we do well, it’s cut-to-size materials. We pride ourselves on delivering precise, bespoke products that are made to your exact requirements. A custom outdoor table top protector provides an exact fit that looks like it’s part of the original design.
Each clear acrylic protector is cut to your exact measurements and available in a range of thicknesses from 3mm-6mm, creating a neat finish without the overhang, or gaps or raised lips.
Whether your table is square, rectangular, round, T-shaped, L-shaped, semi-circular or oval our skilled manufacturers are up to the task.
Acrylic vs glass: which is best for a table top protector?
We can never understand why outdoor tables come with a glass table top. While it looks great, glass can be heavy and not to mention fragile – one wrong move and it’s game over.
Acrylic offers
- 10x the strength
- Lightweight and easy to move
- Durable
- Easy clean surface
From ornate bistro patio sets to rattan garden furniture and large family picnic benches, acrylic offers a practical, polished finish time after time.
How to measure your table top protector
Getting accurate measurements is important to ensure your cut-to-size outdoor table top protector fits correctly.
- Length and width: Measure the length and width of your table’s surface, taking your measurements from the widest or longest points. It can help to draw a plan of your table on a piece of paper for clarity.
- Depth: If you’re replacing a recessed or sunken table top, measure the depth of the recess as well. This will help ensure your new protector sits flush with the surrounding table surface.
- Round tables: Measure the diameter from one edge of the table to the opposite edge, passing directly through the centre.
How to order your table top protector
It’s easy to order your cut-to-size outdoor table top protector.
- Simply select the shape of your table

Looking after your acrylic table protector
Acrylic table top protectors are easy to maintain and only require simple cleaning to keep them looking their best. Simply wipe the surface with warm water and mild washing up liquid, using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. For a high gloss finish, an acrylic polish can be used.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface.
For added stability, optional rubber stops are also available to help keep your protector securely in place. These simple additions provide extra grip, helping to keep the acrylic protector securely in place, especially useful when chasing the sun around the garden.
