Garden Furniture & Picnic Benches in Essex - Made in Chelmsford
We make handmade garden furniture and picnic benches in Essex, built to order in our Chelmsford workshop from C24 construction-grade timber and delivered across the county. Buying from a local maker means your bench is built to your size by the person you speak to - not shipped from a distant warehouse.

We're based at Highlands Farm in Rettendon Common, just outside Chelmsford, and make every bench by hand. For Essex customers that means a few real advantages: you're buying from the maker, you can discuss exactly what you need, and delivery is local.
It also means your bench is made to fit your garden, patio or venue rather than forced into a standard size. Whether it's a single picnic bench for the back garden or a matching set for a pub in Maldon, we build it to your measurements.
