This rustic garden bench preserves the original shape of the tree and features a live-edge along both sides. The legs are made from peeled poles and are angled to add stability. The legs and bracing are on hinges allowing them to fold inward for convenient foldable seating.
These rustic benches are handcrafted by Damien Devereux who is registered blind, with over 5 years experience as a carpenter. All wood is kiln-dried timber, sourced from a local sustainable woodland. Kiln dry wood is much more stable and unlikely to warp as it ages.
These benches come in three different lengths and are 45cm high and approximately 30cm to 40cm deep. If you'd like to customize these sizes please get in contact. The folding mechanism on the legs allows them to collapse down, letting you stack more benches into a smaller space. Ideal for storage or loading into your car. To ensure their durability for outdoor use, the benches are treated with Exterior Oil to bring out the grain and protect the wood, though the bench will need re-coating once a year. An optional hardier coating of varnish is also available for added protection and a smoother finish which will not need re-coating unless damaged.
The legs also feature a brace along the length of the bench which adds structural support, and can serve as a carrying handle during transport. The poles used to make the legs may contain splits from the drying process. The bark is not always present because it sometimes comes loose during construction.
Due to items being made to order please allow up to two weeks for dispatch.
