Whether you want a rustic aesthetic for a community garden or a contemporary profile for a retail space, our wooden seats are designed with both form and function in mind.

Did You Know? Teak develops a beautiful silver patina over time and requires minimal maintenance, making it a popular choice for UK gardens and public spaces.

Case Study: Leeds City Centre Park Project

FAQs – Choosing the Right Timber Bench for Your Outdoor Space

What is the best wood for outdoor benches in the UK?

Teak is the top choice thanks to its natural oils and resistance to moisture, fungi, and pests. Acacia and eucalyptus are also suitable for the British climate, offering a cost-effective alternative with proper maintenance.

Can wooden benches be left outside all year?

Yes. Our hardwood benches are designed to withstand UK weather year-round. For optimal longevity, apply an annual wood preservative and occasionally clean with mild soap and water.

Do you offer bespoke bench designs?

Absolutely. We offer a full bespoke service, allowing you to specify dimensions, finishes, fixings, and even engraved details. Speak to our team to get started.
