Outdoor benches are available in a huge variety and you need to look at a few important factors before you make a final purchase decision. The most important factor to consider here is the material the bench is constructed from. You can pick from plastic, wood, and metal mainly. Plastic is long-lasting, as it doesn’t rot or warp under sun and water exposure. A more durable option is metal. Metal benches can be relatively ornate and quite long-lasting. However, they need to be powder-coated to prevent rust and warping. Hardwood and softwood are both used to make garden benches as well. Softwood is relatively cheap and requires more maintenance than hardwood. Hardwoods such as teak is dense and stronger; they can survive under tricky circumstances and have a longer lifespan.
Consider the size of your garden, yard, patio, or the space where you would be putting the bench. The size of the bench should not be small; it should be able to fit more than two people at least. It is recommended that you purchase a three-or four-seater at the very least. Most good-quality benches come in fairly generous proportions. You also need to see the amount of upkeep the bench requires and if you’re up for that. Wood is prone to warping and rotting. It requires varnish and regular recoats for oils.
Decide on the design and style beforehand. Would you like a flat or curved seating platform? Armrests? Straight or relaxed back? A formal look or a relaxed, rounded appeal like a banana bench? How much detailing should it have?
A: Cedarwood, both western and northern white, is lightweight and highly resistant to rotting and insects. It’s a great choice for outdoor furniture. The cedar color can also work with most of your other furniture items in the house, patio, or garden since it can be stained or painted well. However, cedar is slightly softer than other hardwoods like teak or shorea. Acacia wood is another great pick for outdoor benches and is an eco-friendly, sustainable option as well. Acacia trees are found in abundance all over the world. They're dense and capable of withstanding all elements of nature. This durable hardwood is also used for boat building. Other than that, cypress wood is rich in natural preservatives that work to resist insects and rot. This wood can survive without any finishing as well.
A: Good quality outdoor benches can last up to more than 15 years, but there’s no defined timeline here. The life of your outdoor furniture depends on how you maintain it, the kind of material it’s built with, and the climate conditions. Frame material is an important factor that determines the lifespan of your outdoor bench. For instance, wrought iron and teak wood frame benches last up to 25+ years under normal care and maintenance, while cast aluminum and wicker benches last for 15+ years. A few other factors, like powder coating, weather-resistant fabric, and layering, can add to the life of any kind of outdoor furniture.
