What size outdoor setting do I need?

Measure your space, count your regular guests and leave room to move. Here is how to choose the right setting size.

The right outdoor setting fits the people you usually host and still leaves room to move around it comfortably.

Measure the space

Measure the area you want to use and allow around 90 cm of clear space on every side of the table so chairs can be pulled out and people can walk behind them.

Count your usual guests

Choose for the number of people who sit down most weeks, not the biggest gathering of the year. As a guide, a 3–5 piece setting suits two to four people, a 7 piece seats six, a 9 piece seats eight and 13 piece settings suit large families and regular entertaining.

Think about shape

Round and square tables suit smaller courtyards and balconies and make conversation easy. Rectangular tables make the most of long, narrow spaces. Extension tables give you extra seats when you need them.
