Every garden needs a bench

Wednesday, December 4th, 2013

Every garden needs a bench so you can make time to sit down and enjoy your hardwork.
I read this week of someone going to their allotment with a flask of pumpkin soup (Allotment grown pumpkin) and sitting on their bench admiring their years work whilst enjoying the fruits of their labour. A wonderful ideal that many of us aspire to.
Your garden is another room for you to use – albeit only when it’s not raining, but make the most of the outdoor space by sitting outside and admiring the ever changing patterns of leaves and colour.


Repton 2 seater scroll bench – black
 £499.99
Heavy and solid, this traditionally inspired bench is made from iron and has a black, high gloss powder coating. Slight imperfections in the surface of the steel add to its charm. It is equally well suited to the garden or conservatory. This item is supplied partly assembled, It is relatively easy to build with bolts and all the tools you need to put it together. Dimensions: Height – 89cm Length – 105cm Depth – 72cm With ALL outdoor furniture the ideal scenario is to cover the items up with a water proof cover or sheet if you are going to leave it outdoors over the winter months.

Spanish oak refectory table and two benches
 £499.99
The simple, clean lines and elegant proportions of this refectory set, makes it very easy to place in a variety of settings around the home and garden. It is made from FSC roble, aka Spanish oak (Amburana cearensis), which is a fine-grained hardwood, that shares many of the finer qualities of teak. It will age to an attractive silver if left untreated, but unlike teak, will resist splitting and cracking over time. It has a deliciously soft texture that makes it incredibly tactile, especially as every piece has been finished to a very high standard by a team of local craftsmen. The timber used is farmed in natural forests, in such a way that the biological diversity of the area is maintained and the local community is supported. This is a beautiful set, containing one table and two benches, that is as enduring as it is practical. This set comes as an easy to assemble flat pack with all the tools you need to put it together. Table Measurements: Length: 165cm Width: 90cm Height: 73cm Bench Measurements: Length: 135cm Width: 36.5cm With ALL outdoor furniture the ideal scenario is to cover the items up with a water proof cover or sheet if you are going to leave it outdoors over the winter months.

Hardwood potting bench with storage
 £159.99
Smarten up the potting shed with this great work station. It has been designed to create the maximum amount of storage in quite a compact space, and it is made from TFT certified Acacia. This is a long-lasting hardwood that has a fine grain and beautiful patina with age. It is also strong enough to cope with being knocked about a bit. The under surface storage area, three sturdy shelves, hanging pegs and rail, all mean that you will be able to keep your essential bits and pieces close to hand. This potting bench has an oiled finish, so you can either leave it to weather naturally and it will turn a soft silvery colour, or maintain the finish by using a hardwood furniture oil periodically. Measurements: Distance from floor to draw: 90cm Width: 65cm Depth: 64cm Distance from draw to to 1st shelf: 30 cm Distance from middle shelf to top shelf: 35cm Total Height: 160cm With ALL outdoor furniture the ideal scenario is to cover the items up with a water proof cover or sheet if you are going to leave it outdoors over the winter months.

Potting bench with storage – eau de nil
 £159.99
With a winning combination of style and function, this compact potting bench is particularly useful where space is at a premium. It has a good-sized working area, with three shelves (two upper and one lower) that can be used to keep your pots, plants or compost. All those smaller, fiddly bits and pieces can be kept in the storage area beneath the work surface, while the wooden pegs on one side and rail on the other, can be used to hang things like hand tools and towels. It is made from a hardwood TFT Acacia so is robust enough to cope with being knocked about a bit, and in our opinion will only look better with age as the paint becomes distressed. This item is supplied partly assembled, It is relatively easy to build with bolts and all the tools you need to put it together. Measurements: Distance from floor to draw: 90cm Width: 65cm Distance from draw to to 1st shelf: 30 cm Distance from middle shelf to top shelf: 35cm Total Height: 160cm With ALL outdoor furniture the ideal scenario is to cover the items up with a water proof cover or sheet if you are going to leave it outdoors over the winter months.
