5 Winter Ideas For Folding Picnic Tables

folding picnic table

You might think that folding picnic tables are just for summer, but you would be wrong! Our picnic tables are perfect for the winter season, helping you to make the most out of the cooler weather for a variety of different occasions.

Our picnic tables provide a stable surface that can be quickly folded away and brought out when needed. They provide additional stable surfaces for wine, drinks and snacks, anywhere and at any time. Pop one in your caravan or camper trailer, keep one in the back of your 4WD or Ute for when you go to the beach or store one in the garden shed.  You never know when you will need to use our folding picnic tables!

So, here are our 5 top winter season ideas for using your folding picnic table!

  1. Keep everyone warm with a fire pit

When the cooler winter evenings start to draw in, Aussies look to their fire pits! There is nothing quite like a roaring outdoor fire for making everyone feel warm and friendly. Everything seems perfect when you sit around a fire pit. However, it could get even better when you can keep your food and drinks safe and within arm’s reach of a folding picnic table. Take our picnic tables camping or set them up around the fire pit in the garden – they are perfect for entertaining.

  1. Create your relaxing spa at home

Just imagine a long relaxing soak in your fabulous spa sanctuary at home, allowing the hot water to wash away the day’s stress and worries. Hot spa baths in summer are great, but in winter they seem to be both luxurious and decadent! The problem is – where do you put your wine? Well, our handcrafted picnic tables are perfect for the job because they fit right next to your bath and hold everything you need to create your very own spa sanctuary.

  1. Take the stress out of kid’s sporting events

Winter is the season for an abundance of kid’s sports and parents end up transporting their kids from one activity to another in a never-ending circle! Just imagine how useful a folding picnic table will be at these events! Parents can keep all their kid’s snacks and drinks in one place and not left strewn around the back of the 4WD. Plus, glasses won’t get spilled, and there’s somewhere to keep the car keys, phones and anything else that is needed on the day which often gets lost.

  1. Home entertaining is a breeze

When you have run out of table space for your BBQ or dinner and when friends and family are ready to eat, pull out your handcrafted folding picnic table and look like a professional! Picnic tables are ideal for increasing tablespace, and since they come in different sizes, the smallest models can easily fit on your table and take the place of a lazy Susan.

  1. Add some culture to fishing trips

When everyone wants to head off for a day’s fishing, the one item that is always missing is somewhere to put everything! Whether you need a stable spot for drinks and food or somewhere handy to keep the bait, knives, thermos or beer – our trusty picnic tables are perfect for the job. They take up hardly any room in the Ute or 4WD and can be put up and taken down fast. Just wipe them over to remove any stains, and they are good to go on your next fishing trip.

Your local guide to a day on the Sunshine Coast

Your local guide to a day on the Sunshine Coast | Daydream Leisure Furniture

The Sunshine Coast is a holidaymaker’s best friend. There is consistent beautiful weather, pristine beaches and many natural wonders to discover.

Everyone knows the best way to live like a local, is to ask a local. However, we understand not everyone likes approaching a random person (even though we’re all very friendly) with a pen and paper. Lucky for you, we are the local, ‘outdoor and living’ specialists who can suggest the best places for you to visit here on the Sunshine Coast.

First stop … The Secret Garden Cafe

With many hidden cafes across the Sunshine Coast, it’s sometimes difficult to find the true ‘Gems’ out of them all. So, we highly recommend checking out the newly renovated cafe called the ‘Secret Garden Cafe.’ Located at Noosa Acres Garden Centre, you can’t go wrong with their mouth-watering food and laid-back atmosphere, especially when enriching yourself in the Sunshine Coast lifestyle. You can even take in some inspiration from our Daydream Leisure showroom, which is also located on site! It’s all about bringing the outdoors, indoors.

Friendly Tip: Try their Seared Salmon dish! It’s accompanied by a tomato, olive and potato salad, with a soft boiled egg and vierge dressing. It’s one of our favourites!

Walk the Noosa National Park

Try walking off some of that food and venturing off to the Noosa National Park. This stunning walk is a popular destination and for good reason! Prepare your camera as this peaceful trek is filled with mixed flora, fauna and remarkably the sparkling turquoise water.

Friendly Tip: Comfortable walking shoes are a must as this trek can take roughly 2 hours to complete. We suggest packing a pair of swimmers, hat & water in one of our durable Calypso Beach Bags, as there’s a high chance you may want to stop for a swim at Tea Tree Bay.

Lunch at Betty’s Burgers

Betty’s Burgers is a popular restaurant located in Main Street Noosa. It’s only a stone’s throw away from the beach, so you should ask for takeaway and set yourself up on the sand whilst you eat lunch.

Friendly Tip: Betty’s Deluxe burger is a local favourite, so give it a try! Also, don’t forget to pull out that Turkish Beach Towel you’ve stowed in your Beach Bag and use it as a picnic rug. We also stock an array of non-breakable, Govino glass sets for you to sip a refreshing drink out of!

Relaxing Coastal Drive

So, you’ve spent the morning doing a fair bit of exercise and now it’s time to relax. Spend the afternoon driving down the southern coastline along David Low Way. There are many beach accesses you can park up next to as well, so feel free to take your time and enjoy the scenery.

Picnic at Point Arkwright

Along the way, stop in at Peregian Beach to pick up your meats, cheeses and beverage supplies from the local store. Park up at Point Arkwright, at the available picnic tables or on the grass area, and enjoy the breathtaking view.

Friendly Tip: If you’re looking for a little more comfort whilst on the grass, try re-using your Turkish Beach Towels to lay on and even add a few throw cushions to the mix. We have the perfect sized Timber Table Board which makes for the perfect cheese and antipasto serving platter, whilst you take a sip out of your non-breakable Govino Glasses. Another alternative accessory that would perfectly set your picnic, is our Folding Picnic Tables. They’re fantastic for holding up your Govino wine glasses, wine bucket and cheese platter goodies!
