Large Picnic Benches - 8 Seater & Custom Long Runs

Get a QuoteWhen you need a large bench
Big families, regular entertaining, events and busy venues all need more than a standard 6-seater. If you're seating eight or more, or you need a matched run of benches for a commercial space, a large bench is the way to go.
Our large bench guide helps you judge the threshold, and benches by size shows how all the sizes compare.
Sizes & custom lengths

Built to stay solid at length
A longer bench needs more than extra wood - it needs the right thickness and bracing to stay rigid. We build ours from C24 construction-grade timber to take the load, so they don't flex or wobble even when fully loaded.
Built for length
A longer bench needs more than extra wood - it needs the right thickness and bracing to stay rigid. We engineer ours to take the load at any length.
C24 construction-grade timber
The same timber used to build houses. Graded for strength and durability, it handles the extra stress that comes with a larger bench built to seat a crowd.
Handmade to order
Every large bench is built from scratch after you order it. No stock, no flat-pack. Your bench is made to your exact specification.
