Here goes a round of applause for Robert Young, the creative mind behind refining the existence of pondable table that lets you stay with your dilemma of whether it’s a pond that’s a table or a table with integrated pond. Having talked about aquarium table or eco-desk aquarium by Azoo, one thing is sure that this is definitely not unique in terms of its offerings of bringing an aquatic feel to your abode. Then what made me talk about this pondable stuff here?
Away from only fishes, this full sized garden table comes with integrated and easily maintained garden pond. It has a power to arrest people of all age-group and during twilight time; it enables you to be in the company of fish by turning on the lights.
This handcrafted table is developed using chunky intertwining timber with every single piece absolutely layered with a high grade outdoor treatment before assembly.

It comes with a lifetime guarantee. The water can be roofed over to expand your dining space and you would be surprised to know that this fully-filtered 450-litre pond comes with a winter heater, lights and a water feature. It demands just 5-minutes from you in a month for its maintenance. Retailed at £1,300, the smaller table can house 4-6 people whilst the banquet can accommodate 12-16 and is priced at £3,000.

The very mention of ‘dining on water’ gives a clue that you are staying in a waterfront restaurant or an undersea resort. But the case in point is a BBQ-Donut that takes eating on the water to a new level. It is a blend of part lounge, part restaurant table, part BBQ, and part water activity platform. This can be installed for throwing a party under the sky and over the water. The disciplined, quiet electric-powered water platform can accommodate up to 10 people and comes equipped with an influential sound system that rocks the party.
Check out the gallery:

Designed and developed by German inventor and entrepreneur Sebastian Schmitt, it is a low smoke and charcoal burning BBQ from Outdoorchef. It features a table served with food and drink. Measuring 12 feet in diameter, it can surf the water in up to 20 inch waves. Riding at 2.5mph, the BBQ-donut is perfect fit for lakes, rivers and even giant pools. There is no word available about its pricing. We are really overwhelmed with the existence of this BBQ-Donut designed to play an active role in social gatherings.
