Our advice Buying Guide
Log-benches are unique pieces of garden furniture that provide a distinct style and quality in comparison to the average bench. If you are unsure of how to buy a log bench, here are a few suggestions to help you out.
What are the most popular styles of log benches?
The assumption is that you want your log-bench to be aesthetically pleasing; that’s good news because there are so many elegant and sophisticated designs to choose from, so many in fact that it’s impossible to mention all of them, but here are a few to give you an idea of what’s available on the market:
- Straight: The straight log bench is available in all shapes and sizes, there is nothing fancy about it, it's appealing and practical and looks good in any well-maintained garden.
- Curved: Curved log benches come in two styles, the classic look with a curved backrest, or a bench where the back and arms are completely curved. A curved bench provides an intimate feel to a garden.
- Storage log bench: If you are wondering what a storage log bench looks like; imagine a storage sofa, one where the seat lifts up, and there is a space underneath. The same concept applies to a storage log-bench. If you don’t have a garden shed, you can store your garden tools in this spacious compartment.
- Companion seats: This is an intimate seating arrangement for two people, the log-bench is made into two seats with a table in the middle. Some tables have a hole in the center for an umbrella.
What are the most popular finishes for log benches?
There are log-benches with a natural finish which means they have not had any work done to them after cutting. A painted finish requires a lot of work; the bench has to be sanded down and smoothed out to give the appearance of hardwood. If you are having a bespoke log-bench designed, you can choose how you would like it painted, or you can choose one that has already been painted.
How to select the perfect size log bench?
Log-benches are generally sold by capacity, and you will typically find that there are a few standard sizes. Here are some questions to think about when considering size:
- How much space do you have available in your garden to accommodate a bench?
- Would the space look better with several small benches or one long bench?
- Will you be storing the bench during the winter months? If so you will need to consider storage and transportation arrangements.
- Who will use the bench the most; children or adults?
What are the most popular bench accessories?
Log bench accessories are not essential, but they can provide extra comfort, add to the lifespan of the bench and keep it secure.
- Cushions: Log benches are not soft, and if you are going to spend a long time sitting outside, cushions will provide something comfortable to keep your tush on.
- Bench covers: Although when logs are outside, they are in their natural habitat, you want to protect it from the weather and other outdoor elements so that you and your guests have something nice to sit on.
