Could you use a spray paint like Rustoleum that wears well outside and paint it? You could give it a base coat and then paint a pattern on it to give it a little character...
Aimee...I usually give mine a good cleaning each year and about every other or 3rd I will spray paint. Good luck
You could also use the same paint to paint the top and base different colours or match the chairs if there are chairs around it. :)

Cover it with fun, pattered tiles!
