Wooden Garden Bench Buying Guide
With the right garden products, a part of your landscape can be turned into a comfortable and stylish abode where you can relax, catch the sunshine, have a quiet dinner and/or entertain friends. We at Simply Wood have a range of wooden garden furniture available in different styles and sizes for an affordable price.
One of the most important pieces of an outdoor area is a garden bench. These can add the perfect touch to your garden where one can sit and relax for hours. There are many things to consider when buying garden benches and other outdoor furniture which are:
Material:
Although, products can be made from many different materials, nothing beats the warmth and beauty of natural wood. Since, the furniture sits outside year round, it is important to select a material which is durable and can withstand local weather conditions. Some of the most common and durable woods used include:
- Redwood
- Acacia
- Cypress
- Cedar
- Keruing
- Oak
- Pine
Size:
Our range is available in different sizes but before shopping for one, you have to consider the amount of space you have and how many people you wish to accommodate in your garden. The 2-seater are 4 feet long while the 3 and 4 seaters are 5 feet and 6 feet respectively roughly.
Colour:
The colour of your garden bench can be contrasting or matching the colours in your garden and other outdoor furnishings. The gardens that have a lot of light colours may be best complimented by pale products while a garden with dark outdoor fitments can go with a dark-stained look.
Comfort:
Cushions can be added for comfort. However, they should be taken inside in harsh weather conditions and occasionally washed and stored dry. Some products also include fold-up seats with storage area beneath or side trays for refreshments.
Maintenance tips:
Wooden furniture lasts a lifetime if maintained properly. Outdoor furniture made from high-quality wood is naturally insect and decay resistant and will give your garden a timeless and traditional look. However, over the time, the colour of your wooden benches can fade and turn into a silver colour. You can allow it to weather naturally or maintain the colour by using stained oil. The oil can be applied to the product and other outdoor furniture once or twice a year, very easy to do and can be completed quickly.
