Store a beer garden table and benches on a wall: check dimensions and brackets

If you want to store your beer garden table and bench set on a wall, start with a tape measure and a look at the proposed storage space. To choose wall brackets, you need the folded dimensions of the table and benches, space on and in front of the wall, and information about suitable fixings. This buying guide shows you which measurements to collect and which questions to resolve before ordering.

Record assembled and folded dimensions separately

The dimensions of an assembled beer garden set tell you how much space you need for sitting and eating. For wall storage, what matters is its shape with the legs folded in. Do not rely solely on the length and width listed in a furniture description. Measure your own set in the condition in which you intend to store it.

Look at the table and both benches individually. Record their length, width and total thickness, including the folded frames. Check for any parts that extend beyond the wooden surfaces. If your benches are built differently, record each one separately. A sketch or photograph with your measurements will help you compare them with the bracket specifications later.

Your measuring checklist for the set

• Table: length, width and thickness when folded.
• Bench 1 and bench 2: the same three measurements for each bench separately.
• Protruding parts: folded legs, fittings and any other parts that project beyond the furniture.
• Weight: collect the manufacturer's weight specifications for each piece; ask the furniture supplier about any missing information.

Check the storage space and room to remove the furniture

Measure the available width and height at the proposed storage location. Account for shelves, pipes and sockets, as well as the space needed to open doors and garage doors. The available wall area and the space in front of it are two separate considerations: even if the folded set fits there, you must still be able to carry the table and benches to the brackets, put them in place and remove them again.

Also record how far the chosen brackets and furniture would project into the room. You can only plan this reliably once you know the bracket dimensions and their intended arrangement. Do not choose a mounting height solely because there is space at that point on the wall. Check whether you can handle the set there in accordance with the product instructions.

Choose wall brackets using documented specifications

The Martenbrown wall bracket set for beer garden furniture consists of four brackets and a set of screws and wall plugs. It is intended for storing one table and two benches. The brackets are made of 5 mm thick solid steel and are hot-dip galvanised.

These details describe the material and what is included. Whether the brackets suit your furniture and storage space must be checked against the actual dimensions. The product name alone does not answer that question. Before choosing, clarify the bracket dimensions, the usable support area, the intended arrangement and the conditions for the permitted load. Compare this information with your measuring checklist instead of assuming a universal fit.

Consider the wall and fixings when choosing

The choice of suitable fixings depends, among other things, on the wall material and the load to be supported. Fixings manufacturer fischer also explains this in its wall plug guide (in German). An included set of screws and wall plugs therefore does not confirm suitability for every wall.

Identify the wall material and check the suitability of the fixings together with the bracket manufacturer's mounting instructions. If the wall construction or appropriate fixings are unclear, have these points assessed by a qualified professional. The bracket's material thickness does not establish a permissible load for your particular installation. The documented specifications for the brackets, fixings and wall material are what matter.

Before buying: make sure these questions are answered

1. Are the folded dimensions complete? The table and both benches have been measured, including any protruding parts.
2. Does the intended storage arrangement fit? You can compare the bracket dimensions and support area with your set.
3. Is there enough space? You have checked the available wall area, room depth and clearance for placing and removing the furniture.
4. Have the load and fixings been clarified? You know the furniture weights, the permitted load under the intended conditions and the wall material.
5. Are the instructions available? The arrangement and installation follow the product instructions.

If you are storing the set for the colder months, the guide Storing a beer table and benches over winter helps you plan for their condition, folded dimensions and access routes.
