Using this outdoor clambake table is a breeze. Just place it in your preferred outdoor spot, like your backyard or patio, and start enjoying your meals or gatherings. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid leaving it in standing water for long periods as this could damage the teak. In harsh weather conditions, it's a good idea to cover the table to protect it from the elements. If you notice the table losing its natural luster over time, you can apply a teak oil to bring back its shine.
