I have wooden dining table outdoors, and I use these Vinyl table covers to make wiping down pollen, dirt and bird droppings easy without covering up the beauty of the natural wood. They've managed to last all year without drying out or cracking. Your wood is still able to breath, as well, without becoming too weathered from rain and sun exposure. We used clear, double-sided tape along the edge of the tables to keep the covers from blowing away and they haven't moved an inch since.
