Garden Benches
Garden benches offer a meditative resting place where visitors to your garden can sit and appreciate the beauty. Garden benches can be made from all sorts or woods, wrought iron, wicker, and more.
Shorea, teak, and cedar are some popular woods used to make garden benches. Shorea is related to Burmese teak, but even more hard and resistant to the elements. Wicker is popular because it is fairly inexpensive, but it won’t last as long as a hard wood, metal, or plaster bench.
Some gardeners are do-it-yourself’ers and prefer to make their own garden benches as one more element of their hard work. You can buy kits with all the parts to make your own bench.
