The picnic bench earns its keep in every season — a spot for summer lunches, a potting perch in spring, and somewhere to rest a cuppa whenever the sun appears. The designs in this collection are built in solid timber to handle all of it.
Each wooden picnic bench combines table and seating in a single sturdy frame, so there are no separate chairs to blow over or wander off around the garden. It's the format pubs and parks rely on, sized here for home use.
A garden picnic bench suits open lawns and patios equally well — just allow a little clearance around the seats so people can swing their legs in and out comfortably.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.
In everyday use the terms overlap, but a picnic bench emphasises the all-in-one seating-and-table frame that pubs and parks rely on, sized here for home. Each wooden picnic bench combines table and seats in a single sturdy unit, so there are no separate chairs to blow over or wander off around the garden.
Allow a little space around the seats so people can swing their legs in and out comfortably. As a guide, leave roughly 60 to 70cm behind each bench where possible. A garden picnic bench suits open lawns and patios equally well, so position it where everyone can step in and out without knocking the frame.
Yes. A picnic bench earns its keep in every season, from summer lunches to a potting perch in spring or somewhere to rest a cuppa whenever the sun appears. Built in solid timber, it handles year-round outdoor life. Treating the wood occasionally and clearing standing water off the top helps it cope with wetter months.
The range includes kids' picnic benches alongside full-size designs, so younger family members get seating scaled to them. Each product page lists the dimensions and seat count, making it easy to choose between a compact children's bench and a larger family model that grown-ups and children can share comfortably.
Solid timber needs only occasional attention. A coat of preserver or oil now and then protects the surface and holds the colour, while leaving it untreated lets the wood silver naturally. Wiping the top down after use and keeping the bench on firm, well-drained ground helps it stay solid through repeated seasons outdoors.
