I have an old plastic table that I want to make into an outdoor table?

It is one of those long tables that you might see set up at fundraisers or something . you can fold up the legs so you can transport them. the legs are metal and top plastic. it probably fits about 4 on each side and one on each end. can it be an outdoor table if I paint it and stuff or will it get ruined. what would i do to make it survive outside.

Answer
In a dry climate it might outlast you. Humid climates will eat it away (the metal of course).

What would you do with it anyway?

I say go ahead and use it outside.

Maybe a fresh coat of paint on the legs would help (they still might rust from the inside though). Keep the hinges and pivot points lubed with WD-40.

Regards!

Any ideas on what stores would still carry any? The weathers beautiful and I want one for my end of summer BBQ. Problem is everyones making room for Christmas stuff.

Answer
I think one of the best online sources for outdoor umbrellas is http://www.patioumbrellas.com. I've used the website before, and they usually have some great discounts. I just checked, and it looks like they're offering free shipping as well.

My favorites of their selection are include:

Any of the Sunbrella umbrellas, like this one: http://www.patioumbrellas.com/patio-umbrellas/wood-umbrellas/quickship9ftwoodcommercialgrademarketumbrella.cfm

The Coral Coast offset umbrellas, like this one: http://www.patioumbrellas.com/patio-umbrellas/aluminum-umbrellas/quickship9ftcoralcoastdesigner3waytiltpatioumbrella.cfm

Anyway, hope this helps!
