Integrated Deck Bench

Integrated Deck Bench

Gracie Oaks

If you are on the search for built-in deck benches, then this piece will give you the same aesthetic sans the construction. Made in solid meranti wood, this bench has a rectangular seat in between two planters, perfect for creating a small garden on your patio. 

$116.99 $149.99

Designer Advice:

When choosing a plant to go with this bench, we recommend opting for ones that have slim and tall stems so you can also have shade. However, for roofed patios and decks, this will work well with small bushes that will emphasize the unique design of the piece. While it is weather-resistant, the manufacturer recommends regularly applying wood oil for durability.

Buying Guide

A deck bench should be between 15 and 20 inches in depth, although you can even find models around 30 inches if you want to enhance the casual, relaxation side of things. However, we recommend that you avoid going over this measurement as your deck bench won’t be very comfortable otherwise.

If you’re planning on using your deck benches as a seating solution for dining too, then the sweet spot is around 17 ½ inches.

The best design for a deck bench depends on your deck style and the space you have available. Deck benches can either be freestanding pieces or built-ins. Once you choose which type works best for you, there are several specific design styles to choose from, including linear, L-shaped, or U-shaped. Both U and L-shaped deck benches can include planters in the corners for ornamental flowers or growing herbs and small vegetables.

One of the best designs for a deck bench is a straight line, either parallel or perpendicular to the house. For those with larger decks, this is a good option for providing the most seating and leaving plenty of room to barbecue or walk around.

For large or medium size decks, a U-shaped design creates a cozy way for family and friends to gather outdoors. All decks sizes, including smaller ones, benefit from installing an L-shaped deck bench for optimal seating options and encouraging conversation among visitors.

To build a deck bench, you'll first need to gather your tools such as circular saw, hammer, varnish, stain, power drill, and wood bit, as well as your screws. Next, you'll need to make the frame. You may use existing deck material to make your bench. Then decide whether you want your bench to sit against the wall or on all four legs. If you choose the latter option, make the legs and screw them onto the frame.

Finally, cut leg bases, bolt them to the center of legs, and lag bolts. Then round outer edges and ends of seat boards, using a router. Finally, attach three seat boards to the frame and paint or stain according to personal preference.
