We are direct about what suits exposed, high-use and hospitality settings.

Bases, frames and finishes are specified as furniture, not disposable patio décor.

Project fit Homes, cafes, and anyone seeking quality

Useful for decks, courtyards, entrances, balconies and outdoor dining areas.

A practical way to choose

Start with the setting, then choose the surface.

Exposure, cleaning expectations and seating numbers decide more than style does.

Once those are clear, the material choice is usually straightforward.

01

Timber, when warmth matters.

Selected outdoor-suitable timbers bring grain and character outside. They still need normal care, so finish, weathering and maintenance are part of the recommendation.

02

Porcelain when easy care matters

Alfresco porcelain, usually paired with steel, suits busy homes, cafés and venues that need easier cleaning and a crisp surface.

03

Custom made for your space

Decks, courtyards and venues rarely follow standard dimensions. We adjust size, height, base style and finish around the space.

Built with the same standards as our indoor work

Not throwaway outdoor décor.

Innate outdoor pieces are approached as proper furniture: clear material choices, durable bases, and finishes chosen for the environment.

  • Dining tables, café tables, bar leaners and patio pieces
  • Residential, hospitality and commercial projects
  • Timber, steel and Alfresco porcelain options
  • Made in Christchurch, delivered nationwide

Outdoor timber needs normal care and maintenance. If porcelain is the better fit for your setting, we will say so.

Useful answers first

Common questions before ordering.

Is timber suitable outside?

Yes, when the species, finish and exposure make sense. It will still weather and need normal care over time, so we talk through maintenance before recommending it.

What is easiest to maintain?

For most high-use outdoor settings, Alfresco porcelain surfaces with steel bases are the lower-maintenance option. If you go timber, our timber care guide covers the oiling routine - the same principles apply outdoors, just on a more regular rhythm.

Can you make a custom size?

Yes. Most Innate pieces are made to order, including outdoor tables and leaners.

Do you work with cafés and venues?

Yes. We build for homes, hospitality fit-outs and commercial outdoor areas.

How long will an outdoor timber table last in NZ conditions?

With normal care, decades. Outdoor timber isn't maintenance-free - it weathers, and it wants a re-oil more often than an indoor table - but that's surface work, not structural. The solid NZ timber and powder-coated steel underneath are built for outdoor life, and because the finish is repairable, a tired-looking top can be brought back rather than replaced.

Can you match an outdoor table to our indoor furniture?

Yes. Because everything is made to order in the same Christchurch workshop, we can carry the same timber tones, base style and proportions from your dining table out to the deck. Tell us what you have (or what you're ordering) and we'll design the outdoor piece to belong to the same family.
