Garden Bench

Wood offers warmth and authenticity. Metal is durable. Composite mimics wood without maintenance.

In the shade of a tree, facing a view, along a path, or near a pond.

Apply a stain or outdoor wood oil annually to preserve the wood.

The size of the garden bench depends on the available space and the number of people who will use it. Generally, a bench 120 to 180 cm long is suitable for 2 to 3 people. Opt for a depth of about 50 cm for optimal comfort.

The choice of garden bench color depends on your outdoor decor style. Neutral tones like natural wood, grey, or black integrate easily. For a more vibrant touch, you can also opt for colors like blue, green, or red.

To maintain a metal garden bench, start by cleaning it regularly with a damp cloth and a suitable cleaning product. Also, remember to protect it from bad weather by covering it when not in use. An anti-rust treatment can also be applied for better preservation.

You can add accessories to make your garden bench even more comfortable and aesthetic. Seat cushions, throws, or blankets will add softness. Potted plants or string lights will also provide a decorative touch.

If your garden bench needs to be placed on an uneven surface, make sure to stabilize it well. For example, you can add shims under the legs to compensate for differences in level. This will prevent the bench from tilting or becoming unstable with use.
