Types of Bench Garden Seating

 
There are numerous ways to add bench seating.

One of the simplest is to look for a pre-built bench that will suit your needs and blend in well with the rest of the garden. This type of bench seating is the easiest to install. Prices are based on the size of the bench, as well as the construction materials and style you choose.
 
One of the most traditional and popular options for bench seating is the wrap-around. This type of bench traditionally encircles a tree and provides a lovely and shaded spot to sit and enjoy your garden.

See our Patio Furniture section for tips on how to choose the bench garden seat that is right for your space.



Construction of Bench Garden Seating

Regardless of which type of bench garden seat you choose, keep in mind that that the materials you select will have an influence on the amount of maintenance your bench requires.
