Choosing the right outdoor table material for areas with heavy deer activity can be challenging. Deer are curious and often destructive, so durability and resistance to wildlife interference are key. Here are the top materials to consider:

1. Metal (Aluminum or Steel) – Metal tables are highly durable and deer-resistant. Deer are unlikely to chew or damage metal, and powder-coated finishes add extra protection against rust and scratches.

2. Polymer/Resin Wicker – Synthetic wicker is tough and unappealing to deer. It’s also weather-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use in deer-populated areas.

3. Concrete or Stone – Heavy and nearly indestructible, concrete or stone tables are excellent for high-deer-traffic zones. Their weight deters tipping, and deer won’t gnaw on them.

4. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) – This eco-friendly plastic is durable, low-maintenance, and unattractive to deer. It won’t splinter, rot, or fade easily.

5. Teak or Cedar (Treated) – While wood can be vulnerable, treated hardwoods like teak or cedar are less appealing to deer due to their natural oils and density.

For the best results, avoid softwoods like pine, which deer may chew. Opt for sturdy, non-organic materials that withstand both weather and wildlife. A well-chosen table will last years, even in deer-heavy areas.
