Tips to Selecting the Perfect Garden Bench Seat

  When selecting a garden bench seat, there are different factors that need to be considered. Where is this bench seat going? Is it a large open area or a small cozy space? What are the weather elements it will be exposed to? What style are you wanting? Is comfort a factor to consider or are you more concerned about the aesthetics? 

Think About Material




If your garden bench seat is going to be exposed to harsh weather conditions you need to ensure you opt for a robust and durable material that can withstand each of these environmental factors.

Teak wood is perfect for every climate which is why we try to source our bench seats and other outdoor furniture made with Teak. It is extremely durable and resistant to withstand our New Zealand weather conditions. 

Size and Placement 

Think about the dimensions of your garden and the location of the bench. A large bench could overpower a small area, while a small bench might look out of place in a large yard. To make sure the bench fits properly, measure and mark out the space where you want to put it.


Two-Seater: Perfect for cozy garden nooks or small areas.


Three-Seater or Larger: Ideal for areas with extra space or gardens that require additional seating.


Style of the Bench Seat 

The bench's design needs to go in with your garden's overall aesthetic. Do you want a classic timeless piece? Or perhaps something a little more modern? Are you searching for a rustic addition to your garden or something minimalist with clean lines?  


If rustic is what you are after, look for benches crafted from organic materials or a vintage bench with a distressed patina. 


For a minimalist look, find something made from composite materials with clean lines. With so many options to consider, ensure you find the right fit to bring your garden to life. 


Comfort 

If you plan to use the bench for extended periods of time, comfort is paramount. Look for benches with curved seats or add cushions for further comfort. Benches with armrests and backrests offer more support and are more comfortable for prolonged sitting sessions.


Maintenance 

The material will determine the amount of maintenance needed. It may be necessary to periodically seal or paint wood, prevent corrosion on metal, and occasionally clean stone or concrete to avoid the accumulation of moss. 

When selecting your garden bench seat, you need to balance its aesthetics with functionality. Choose a material that suits your climate, your space and your maintenance capabilities. By considering each of these, you will be sure to find the perfect bench seat for your garden.
