Every bench, built to order
We don't hold a warehouse of identical flat-pack benches. Each one is made for the customer who ordered it, which means you choose the size, the seat count, and the finish.
If your space is an awkward length or you need a run of matching benches for a venue, that's exactly what built-to-order is for. New to buying one? Start with our complete buyer's guide.
Why solid timber, made by hand
A picnic bench lives outdoors through every season, so how it's made matters more than anything. Ours use substantial, well-finished C24 construction-grade timber and proper joints - the things that decide whether a bench lasts five years or twenty-five.
Cheaper benches cut corners on wood thickness and fixings; ours don't. Learn what to look for in a quality bench and how long a good bench lasts.
