Why Choose a Rectangle Table with Umbrella Hole?
Built-in Convenience
Enjoy instant shade on sunny days. The integrated umbrella hole (usually 1.5–1.9 inches) accommodates most market umbrellas, giving you flexible coverage without taking extra floor space.
Optimal Seating Capacity
Rectangle tables are space-efficient and seat more people than round or square tables of similar size. A 60–72 inch table comfortably seats 6, while 80+ inches accommodate 8–10 guests.
Material Matters
- Teak: Premium, weather-resistant, ages beautifully. Price: $1,400–$2,800
- Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, low maintenance. Price: $500–$1,500
- HDPE (Polywood): Eco-friendly, UV-resistant, easy to clean. Price: $400–$1,200

Size & Space Planning
Measure your patio before buying. Allow at least 36 inches of clearance around the table for chairs and walking space. For 6 seats, choose 60"L x 36"W; for 8 seats, 80"L x 40"W. The umbrella hole should be centered for balanced shade.
Average Price: $450–$2,899
Care & Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
Wipe with mild soap and water weekly. For wood, use a teak cleaner or sealant annually. Aluminum tables need only a damp cloth.
Umbrella Hole Care
Keep the hole clear of debris. If your table has a cap, use it when the umbrella is not installed to prevent water pooling and rust.
Seasonal Storage
Cover or store indoors during extreme weather. Use furniture covers to protect against UV and moisture, extending the table's life.
