You could always replace it with new glass or wood. Be sure to seal the wood for outdoors - marine varnish would be best.
Hello. The most economical replacement choice I suspect would be wood.
It would need a weather proof sealer.
Or tablecloth if it’s appearance did not suit your aesthetic.

If you want to replace with something other than glass, you could use wood, also add tile to the top for a nice finish that is something a bit different.
You can have a circle of plywood cut to the appropriate size OR measure planks to different linksand place in the metal frame for a "ship-lap" look.
I'd use a wooden top, seal with outdoor sealant
Another vote for a wooden table top but seal it well.
Wood top would be the cheapest. Painted, stained, seal with Helmsman Spar Urethane for a weatherproof finish.
Hi Melissa, sorry you broke your table top. I hope this will help you get it fixed. Good luck.What can I use instead of glass for a table top?
Acrylic plastic looks similar to glass. It is clear and can protect the table from damage, but it is much more durable, lighter weight and not likely to fracture. Replacing a broken table top with a plastic one is easy since most hardware stores sell acrylic plastic and can cut it to any dimensions that you require.
