Regal Outdoor Bar Range
The Regal outdoor bar range is built for standing height entertaining, the part of a courtyard or poolside area where people gather with a drink rather than sitting down to a meal.
Two bar tables are stocked:
- Regal 100cm round bar table, for a compact corner or the end of a deck, comfortably taking three or four people standing.
- Regal 160 x 70cm rectangular bar table, for a longer run against a wall or balustrade.
Bar stools come in two fabric options. The Regal outdoor bar stool in Taupe is the standard finish, and the Regal Sunbrella outdoor bar stool uses solution dyed acrylic, where the colour is in the fibre rather than on it. In a position that takes full afternoon sun, Sunbrella is the one that holds its colour.
Three complete 5 piece bar sets are available, a round set in Sunbrella, a rectangular set in Sunbrella, and a rectangular set in Taupe. Buying the set rather than the pieces means the stool height is already correct for the table, which is the detail that most often goes wrong when bar furniture is assembled from separate purchases.
A fitted outdoor furniture cover to suit the Regal 5 piece bar set is stocked. It is worth having. Bar stools sit higher and catch more weather than dining chairs, and covering them out of season is the difference between fabric that lasts a few summers and fabric that lasts many.
Check your surface before ordering. Bar height furniture has a higher centre of gravity than dining furniture, so it wants a level, firm base. On soft ground or uneven pavers, bar stools tip in a way dining chairs do not.
Regal Outdoor Bar Range - FAQs
-
What is an outdoor bar setting?
An outdoor bar setting is a tall table with matching stools, at bar height rather than dining height. It suits a spot where people stand and perch instead of sitting down to a meal: a balcony rail, beside a barbecue or a pool, or along the edge of a terrace. It also takes up less floor depth than a dining setting for the same number of people.
-
Should I choose the round or the rectangular bar table?
The Regal range offers a 100cm round table and a 160 x 70cm rectangular table. The round table suits conversation, because everyone can see everyone, and it fits a corner or a smaller terrace more easily. The rectangular table suits a run along a wall or a rail and seats more people in a narrower footprint. Measure the depth you can give up before deciding.
-
Will the Regal stools suit the Regal bar tables?
Yes, they are made to go together, and buying the five piece set is the safest way to be certain. If you are buying the table and stools separately, check the stated seat height of the stool against the table height on the product pages before you order. Seat height is the one measurement that ruins an otherwise good bar setting, and it is not something you can adjust afterwards.
-
What colours and fabrics are available?
The stools come in Taupe, and in Sunbrella Charcoal and Sunbrella Light Grey. The tables come in Black and in White. The five piece sets are offered in Taupe, Sunbrella Charcoal and Sunbrella Light Grey with either the round or the rectangular table, so you can match the fabric across the whole setting.
-
Does the bar set arrive assembled?
The Regal five piece bar set is supplied assembled, so there is no flat pack build at your end. Check the access to where it is going before delivery, because an assembled bar setting will not come apart to get through a narrow gate, a tight stair or a lift.
-
Is there a cover available for the Regal bar set?
Yes. There is an outdoor furniture cover made to suit the Regal five piece bar set. A fitted cover is worth ordering with the set rather than later, because it is sized to that specific setting, and it is the cheapest way to keep tree debris, dust and bird mess off the fabric between uses.
-
How does the Regal range handle weather and sun?
The frames are aluminium, so they will not rust, and the fabric is an outdoor acrylic, with Sunbrella available on several models. Sunbrella is solution dyed, which gives it the strongest resistance to fading in constant sun. Rinse the frames and fabric down with fresh water now and then, especially near the coast where salt builds up, and let everything dry fully after rain.
