Garden Benches

Teak is the preferred choice of hardwood in the manufacture of high quality garden benches. It is packed with natural oils which help resist wear from the elements. The closely spaced grain of the wood fibres make teak wood very hard wearing and resistant to rotting and warping. Hence this material is chosen because of its low maintenance requirements.

However, you should oil your teak garden bench every 6 months to make sure you enjoy an extra-long life and your bench continues to resist the elements and remain as sturdy and high quality as the day you bought it!

As well as the more traditional garden benches we also stock a great range of companion benches. These feature a pair of single wooden seats separated by a wooden (although we go have a copper companion seat) table that connects the two.

Great as an added garden feature with a choice of materials from teak and other high quality hardwood. They are especially nice for sharing with another as the central table offers the opportunity to place cups and other items onto it.

Normally around 120cm wide and 96cm high, our range of more traditional straight backed two seater benches also range in style and material. For a more contemporary setting we recommend the Langkawi 2 seater bench which combines high quality hardwood with the modern elements found in aluminium. More of a traditionalist? No problem, you might like to take a look at our bronze bench or perhaps the classy and elegant pergola garden bench.

Tree Seats - or Tree Benches as they are sometimes known, are ideal to provide shelter and shade from sun, rain and wind. Perfect for friends to gather around, they are ideal for use in the grounds of hotels, golf courses and office buildings, in addition to domestic gardens, parks and estates. Tree Seats can be a place for quiet reflection and can provide welcome relief from the summer sun.

Tree seats and benches provide a focal point especially around a specimen tree. They are manufactured to be sturdy, and to stay in-situ for very many years with minimum maintenance. Our Teak used is solid premium grade, and will naturally silver over the seasons. If you want to delay this process, simply apply teak oil.

A few tips to assist you when making your choice:

• Is the tree fully grown? If not to allow sufficient space for the trunk to expand, and also remember that the trunk will be widest at it lowest point. 
• To calculate the diameter of your tree's trunk, measure around the circumference, and divide by 3.143. If you don't have a suitable tape measure to hand, phone our Team who will advise you on a simple method to gauge your tree's diameter.
• If your tree is growing near a wall or similar, we stock semi circular tree seats.
• At Garden Oasis we also supply metal tree seats, for trunks up to 41cm diameter. These are make from steel with a rustic bronze finish that makes them ideal for positioning in a cottage garden..
• Our Teak Tree Seats have natural beauty and are durable enough for commercial or domestic use, ideal of hotel grounds or grand estates. The teak tree seats will fit around a tree up to 100cm diameter.
