Outdoor Mud Table & Sink

The Outdoor Mud Table & Sink by Anthony Peters is a beautifully crafted, solid acacia hardwood timber unit designed for outdoor exploratory and water-based play. Blending functionality with durability, this versatile table is ideal for outdoor play areas and can also be used indoors. It provides an engaging space for children to engage in role play, sensory exploration, and imaginative experimentation with water and nature-based materials.

The table includes a removable stainless steel bowl and a hand-powered water pump. The curved design and compact footprint make it suitable for smaller outdoor environments. A bucket or water vessel (not included) can be placed beneath to feed the pump system. The stainless steel bowl is not suitable for direct sunlight use, as it may heat up and pose a safety risk.

This table is designed with weather-resistance in mind, although it will naturally age to a silver-grey patina when exposed to the elements. Periodic cleaning and varnishing are recommended to maintain its original appearance and extend its lifespan. Assembly is required, and proper care during movement and regular maintenance of fastenings is advised.
