Why not treat yourself to a garden bench from RawGarden?
Every garden needs a bench. A quiet place to sit down and enjoy the garden view, a place to sit with friends, or to enjoy a lone cup of coffee as you gaze out on your flowers and plants.
Where’s the best place for siting your garden bench?
Some people like to sit in the sunshine, so this would make a good place – somewhere that gets a lot of sunshine. Remember to think about when and how you’ll be using the bench. Will you be sitting out in the mornings mostly before work, or in the late afternoons? If the bench isn’t too heavy you can move it about but getting it in the right place means you’ll just be able to go and sit down and relax.
If you like to sit out in the afternoon or evening sun then place it where it’ll get the sun for longest. You might take a couple of days to find the perfect spot, as ideally you don’t want to get a breeze rushing past, so adjust the bench until the final position is perfect!
Some people like to have a bench outside their front door to sit and enjoy the evening sun that comes that way, it’s quite social when a group of neighbours can chat outside your house with a brew and a sit down!
If there’s a lot of you likely to be sitting on the bench then you might need two! Of course then you have to consider placement of the second bench, either in a row to face the same away, or facing each other!

Some people like cushions on their bench to make it comfy for sitting on for long hours – it’s entirely up to you! There’s a huge choice of benches available and these are on offer! Pick one that you like the look of and may it bring you many happy hours of use in your garden!
