The history of Radial Edge Picnic Tables begins with the history of the picnic. In the 1600s the French organized outings where each person would bring a dish for all to share. This potluck outing was called 'piquenique' in French and the English translated it to 'picnic' in the mid 1700s. Around 1800 the word picnic was incorporated into the English language. Later, during the 19th century, the concept of an outdoor picnic traveled to America. A picnic was commonly understood to be a casual meal enjoyed by a group in an outdoor setting. A more elegant description is "a pleasure excursion including a meal at a beautiful outdoor location." Since that time picnics have been an important part of American culture. They are still fun outdoor social gatherings that include a meal.

The early picnic tables were made of wood and were simply modified tables with built-in benches on both sides of the table. They were made for eating a meal outdoors. Food was placed on the table top and the bottom platform was reserved for seating. The design of the picnic table has not changed much over the years but the materials used now include plastic, recycled plastic, PVC, aluminum, and steel. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. Today picnic tables are ubiquitous in city parks and outdoor festival areas. And the Radial Edge Picnic Tables are popular because they are both attractive and functional.

One of the most important features of Radial Edge Picnic Tables is its powder coated thermoplastic finish. This finish provides the base metal an extremely durable coating or shield from corrosion, rust, and the elements. It is far superior to a conventional paint covering. The dry free-flowing powder and the metal base are given opposite charges during the application process. The result is that the powder forms an exceptionally strong bond with the metal. The coating is then heated or cured to form a very uniform, smooth "skin" that covers and protects the base metal for decades. The tubular understructure is coated in black and the table top and seats can be one of sixteen different colors. An additional benefit of this thermoplastic finish is that spray-painted graffiti can be easily removed. There is virtually no maintenance required with this thermoplastic finish.

Radial Edge Picnic Tables are the modern solution for fun picnics. These tables are perfect for children (no splinters) or high-maintenance parks. They are easy to clean, low maintenance, and will last for decades. The assembly is simple and all hardware is included. Anti-Skateboard Tabs and Leg Protectors are available as optional items.
