Buying criteria
Drainage
Slope is necessary
Water evacuation protects the space, but it also creates an incline that affects table support.
Material
Every finish ages differently
Tile, decking, stone, concrete and cobblestone behave differently under a table leg.
Furniture
Specify auto-stabilizing bases
Any outdoor paving can become uneven over time. Stability should be part of the furniture.

Inspecting joints, drainage and difficult points helps prevent incidents.
With manual fixes
Waiting for complaints makes wedges feel normal to staff.
Design

Frequently asked questions
Does drainage slope always make tables wobble?
Not always. Slope alone is not enough, but combined with joints or irregularities it can make one leg lose support.
How often should outdoor flooring be checked?
At least once a year and after hard seasons of rain, heat or frost, depending on climate and use.
What floor is best with historic cobblestone?
If cobblestone is part of the venue value, preserve it and solve table stability in the base.
