Patio Sets: Size the Table, the Chairs and the Clearance

September 21, 2026 by Daniel Whitfield
Plan view of a six-seat dining zone on a 4.2 by 4.0 metre patio showing a 1.8 by 0.9 metre table, 1.05 metre pull-out on the long sides, 0.70 metre at the ends, and the chair pull-out envelope

Most patio sets fail on layout, not quality. Measure the clear rectangle, get the clearances right, size the table to the seat count, and buy once.
