Benches
An outdoor bench is an effortless way to add extra seating to any patio, perfect for pairing with dining chairs or used alone in garden areas and lawns. Patio benches come in all sorts of styles and materials to fit in seamlessly with any outdoor design theme.
Wooden benches provide a natural aesthetic that complements any surrounding environment, while teak, acacia and cedar wood benches can last years with proper care and are made from some of the most durable species such as teak. Metal benches have also become increasingly popular as outdoor seating options; options available include powder-coated steel, aluminum and wrought iron varieties that are lightweight yet resistant to rust and insect problems; making them suitable for coastal or humid areas.
Plastic benches offer another low-maintenance solution for outdoor seating, and are often resistant to fading and rusting, although their strength diminishes over time. Concrete and stone benches, however, make a great addition to gardens and courtyards alike and are sturdy yet ornate depending on their design – they make ideal benches that won’t need moving regularly.
