Teak Garden Bench

Teak is a most popular material for garden benches of all shapes and sizes and owes its popularity due to its long lasting nature and durability against the weather. A hardwood material, teak is as popular today as it has ever been thanks to its low maintenance requirements and stylish look. It is simple to clean if required with stains from spilled drinks and food being easily removed with a little soap and water and a good scrub.

With a little oiling teak benches can last a lifetime, offering a slow colour change over time as it matures into the garden setting. Having been used originally in the Middle Ages for shipbuilding you can be confident when buying a teak garden bench that you will be buying a product that will give you years of great service, whether you store it inside during the winter months or leave it outside with a good quality cover for protection.

Let’s also not forget that Teak garden benches offer environmental advantages due to the raw material being found and harvested in certified teak plantation areas in Southern Asia. This offers the benefit of reducing harm to the environment and decreasing the number of trees destroyed in more sensitive areas such as South America.

A garden bench will also make a wonderful gift for a number of different occasions. For a loved one who is no longer with us, a special birthday to remember or even a wedding present. With the ability to engrave a message or a pattern, you can purchase a bench and tell whoever it’s for just about anything you want within reason, with the most popular being a memorial bench often placed in a more public area such as a park or woodland area for others to enjoy as well.

Whatever your seating requirements are for the summer this year, a garden bench makes an ideal purchase, offering a lifetime of appeal and a wonderful focal point to any outdoor area.

It appears to be a fashionable development at the moment to look towards an open area such as a park or other kind of public space and see a positive improvement in many areas by way of the amount of outdoor equipment available. This includes picnic benches and park benches with which people can make use of the surrounding areas so much more so than ever before.

As we attempt to get our children ever increasingly more into the outdoors and take time and consideration to enjoy the open areas around us, it is fantastic to see the variety of park benches that are an option to take advantage of, whether that is to sit and enjoy a picnic in the sun, or perhaps to simply sit and enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee whilst the children make use of the facilities around them.

What is evident is the rise in memorial benches, which appear to have grown to become more popular than ever in parks and public spaces through which loved ones and family members can donate a bench with an engraved message to perhaps be sited in a favoured location in which people spent time with each other. They are a lovely reminder of special places and warming to many people who sit and spend time on these benches.

Needless to say it's not only public places which happen to have outdoor areas that may take pleasure in picnic benches being accessible. Organisations are getting to be more acquainted with the wishes of their own personnel wanting a little thinking time during the working day and where possible park style benches fit in very well into the company image for workers to spend their break or lunch times unwinding and recharging their batteries ready for the remainder of the day or even for a relaxing drink after the work is done.

Social events laid on by companies can be the perfect opportunity for an organisation to make use of outdoor areas, together with picnic benches they may have, entertaining staff and clients alike. For organisations in search of that extra something special engraving their company name or message into a bench can be found in a number of areas for promotion or additional exposure and is a great idea to get the message across.

For more commercial establishments such as pubs and clubs, picnic benches are ideal for the garden areas, and as long as the weather is not too cold or wet, you can almost guarantee customers will be sat outside making use of them in all seasons.

The range of styles of park benches as well as picnic benches becomes ever increasing with traditional, classic wood materials such as teak and also hardwood from responsibly managed forest areas joined by more modern contemporary alternatives, for example recycled plastics provides you with the chance to do your bit for the environment.

It appears not only private outdoor areas and gardens are a great place to spend time relaxing on a bench. The range of picnic benches available for the commercial sector makes it a great time to be out and about enjoying the best of the parks and outdoor areas available as well.

Spare a consideration for your garden bench as summer slowly gives way to autumn. Your beautiful garden bench which has offered so much pleasure during the past few months may look a little forlorn in the coming months if it is left to the elements, and even though garden furniture is meant for the garden, often the side effects of the UK’s inclement weather tend not to sit well with your bench or other items of garden furniture you may have invested in for your outside area.

Here are a few examples as to what damage garden benches could be prone to:

Dryness: During a sustained dry period in the winter months, your wooden garden furniture can dry out and crack. This can lead to your bench becoming less sturdy and far less attractive.

Water Damage: If cracked or split, your furniture will become particularly susceptible to water damage during winter. If the water collects in the cracks or splits and freezes this will create larger cracks and splits.

Warping: If the temperatures vary from hot to cold dramatically regularly, the wood can become misshaped. 



A simple solution for protecting your garden furniture is to be certain that it is covered up and in doing so, provide it with a great chance of looking its best for when the sun makes an appearance next spring. Garden furniture covers are the ideal solution offering waterproof options in addition to high durability to maintain your bench as well as other furniture items snug and dry.

It is recommended to invest in a strong one, which fits well, or you could very well find high winds will blow them off leaving your furniture fully or partially exposed. Fortunately, covers are available to suit most shapes and sizes of garden furniture now; these include items such as patio furniture in addition to more interesting shapes such as parasols and not just benches. They may well be the perfect solution should you not possess the room or the strength to get your furniture indoors somewhere.

A very good cover is not only about protecting garden benches from the unwelcome weather though; consideration should be given to sunlight too. It maybe worth keeping an eye on the weather should it be set fair for a particularly warm period. If you are away for any length of time during such a period, you may choose to consider covering your outside furniture safeguarding it against the ravages of the sun's rays.

Making use of a cover will help to extend the life of your bench by protecting the wood from damage. It will still need regular maintenance to remain in tiptop condition, however any damage will be nowhere near as substantial and certainly far less time consuming.

As children it seems most of us had some kind of fascination with swings in the park and an affinity with swing seats in the garden.It appears to be fair for most of us that fascination still remains and is never far away when it comes to garden bench swings.

We are happy to report the fascination we had as children can be quenched thanks to garden swing seats being a real popular favourite nowadays once again. As an adult, a garden swing seat is a great place to sit and take a break from the gardening or the everyday occurrences that go on around us. These classic pieces of garden furniture offer the ability to lose ourselves somewhere for a little while especially if they are sighted out of the way somewhere in a corner of the garden, for example. What could be better than to sit back and relax or simply curl up on your own and release the tension of the day whilst you enjoy the sun and your outside space. If entertaining is your thing, a swing seat on the patio is ideal for relaxing on a summers evening sipping on a cool, quenching pre-dinner drink with family or friends, whilst waiting for an al fresco dinner from the barbecue.

With a variety of shapes and sizes, from a simple two-seater free standing type, for a more intimate experience, such as the Bengal Swing Seat complete with a canopy to protect you from the sun’s rays through to a more contemporary design such as the Glider chair which offers a drinks holder in between the seats, and a locking system which will lock the chair to stop the rock, the choice is limited only by your imagination.

Stylish, versatile, and suitable for two or three adults, a Teak swing seat will enhance any garden or outdoor living space. They make such a wonderfully lavish addition to your garden for those lazy days, they are capable of bringing you enjoyment all summer long.
