FMF Elixir Outdoor Slate Bed Pool Dining Table - 6FT & 7FT

FMF Elixir Outdoor Pool Dining Table — a genuine dining table built to live outside

The FMF Elixir Outdoor Pool Dining Table takes the Elixir Diner's hidden ball storage and dual-purpose dining top and rebuilds it in marine plywood and stainless steel, so it can sit on a patio, in a garden room or under a pergola through a British summer without warping or rusting.

Available in 6ft and 7ft sizes, finished in weatherproof laminate with toughened grey tinted glass dining tops included as standard, it converts from a full-size pool table to a dining table in moments — indoors or out.

Let the experts help you choose your FMF Elixir Outdoor Pool Dining Table

An outdoor dining table has to earn its keep in two ways at once — as a pool table and as furniture that sits outside in the weather. Getting the construction right matters more than it would indoors.

The Elixir Outdoor uses the same marine plywood construction and stainless steel legs as our other outdoor tables, specifically to resist damp, and pairs with Hainsworth's Elite Pro outdoor cloth range at no extra charge rather than an indoor cloth that wouldn't hold up outside.

Not sure whether 6ft or 7ft suits your space, or whether your outdoor area needs any extra protection for the table? Get in touch and we'll help you work through it before you order.

The Owner's Insights on the Elixir Outdoor

Of all the outdoor tables we sell, the Elixir Outdoor gets asked about most for garden bars and outdoor kitchens, because it doubles as a dining table rather than taking up space as a pool table alone. It's built in marine plywood rather than the chipboard or MDF under an indoor laminate finish, with stainless steel legs and corner detailing specifically so damp and rain don't turn into rust and rot after a season or two outside. The retractable ball drawer that makes the indoor Elixir tidy indoors matters even more outside, where you don't want balls sitting exposed to the weather between games. One honest thing worth knowing before you order: FMF don't offer a manufacturer's guarantee on their outdoor models the way they do indoors, precisely because outdoor exposure is a harder environment to promise against. If you want the dining-table format with a full guarantee, the indoor Elixir, kept somewhere covered, is the safer choice. If you genuinely want it outside, this is built for exactly that.

Why You'll Love the Elixir Outdoor

• Marine plywood construction — built to handle damp and changeable weather rather than adapted from an indoor design.
• Stainless steel legs and corner detailing — resist rust where painted or powder-coated metal would eventually corrode outside.
• Hidden retractable ball drawer — keeps balls tucked away and protected between games, rather than left exposed to the weather.
• Grey tinted glass dining tops included — toughened 2-piece glass tops convert it to a full dining table in moments and won't swell or warp outdoors.
• Hainsworth Elite Pro outdoor cloth at no extra charge — made to cope with humidity and temperature swings, not just indoor use.

Why You Should Consider an FMF Pool Table

FMF build their tables in the UK to a genuine slate-bed standard rather than cutting corners with lightweight playing surfaces, and back that up with a wide range of finish, cloth and leg options so your table can be built to suit your space rather than the other way round.

Can an Outdoor Pool Dining Table Really Handle British Weather?

It depends on how it's built. Some tables sold as "outdoor" aren't designed for genuine exposure and can swell or warp within a season — a real risk for a dining table, where the tabletop sits exposed even when the table isn't in play. The Elixir Outdoor uses marine plywood, the same material used in boat building, specifically because it resists moisture, and its dining tops are toughened grey tinted glass rather than a board that could absorb water. Combined with stainless steel legs and corner detailing, it's built to be left somewhere genuinely outdoors rather than just under a lean-to. That said, FMF still recommend a table cover for any table left exposed without shelter, and don't offer the same manufacturer's guarantee they do on indoor tables — outdoor use is still harder wear than indoor, whatever the table's built from.

FMF Elixir Outdoor vs the Indoor Elixir Diner — What's Different

Both share the same 3/4-inch slate bed, hidden retractable ball drawer and hingeless top frame. The differences come down to what the table's built to survive: the Outdoor version uses marine plywood and stainless steel construction throughout, rather than the indoor range's laminate-over-cabinet or solid Oak/Walnut timber options, and it's finished exclusively in weatherproof laminate rather than timber. Dining tops differ too: the indoor Elixir comes with matching tops (with a glass upgrade available), while the outdoor model comes with toughened grey tinted glass tops as standard. Cloth is restricted to the Hainsworth Elite Pro outdoor range rather than the full indoor cloth selection, and FMF's manufacturer guarantee doesn't extend to the outdoor models.
