Metal Garden Benches

What We Like: Curly armrests

What We Don’t Like: A little too lightweight for outdoors

Not So Good For: Sitting on for long durations

Perfect For: Setting plants on and resting against a fence or wall

This metal bench offers a graceful Victorian antique taste with its distressed brown, blue, and white paint. The arms and legs have a girlish curl, and just below the seat, there is curled metal in the shape of hearts.

Because it comes without a back it has a more seamless appeal, though it may not be as comfortable as metal benches with backs. If you sit with your legs and feet up on furniture, this is a good bench to do this on. For increased comfort and style, find a thick cushion with a solid bright hue or floral pattern.

What We Like: Heavier cast-iron build

What We Don’t Like: Limited to a few styles

Not So Good For: Open and exposed gardens

Perfect For: Nautical home themes

Resistant to UV, water, and rust, this garden bench is made of cast iron metal and painted blue. It features fish and a seahorse on its full metal backrest, hexagon fish fin patterns on the curvy seat, and curled armrests and front legs.

Although this is an outdoor bench, its paint will last longer if you place it below a covered area, like a gazebo or pergola. Add white and cool navy-blue pillows for a cozy vibe. Lush plants in large glossy ceramic pots placed on each side of the metal bench will give it a robust appearance.

What We Like: It's very sturdy

What We Don't Like: Difficult assembly

Not so good for: Year-round use

Perfect for: A front porch

Thanks to this stylish stainless steel garden bench, your morning mediations will never be the same. Its powder-coated iron frame is resistant to rust and all weather elements, while an elegant floral pattern decorates the back.

With a weight capacity of 660 lbs, this bench can comfortably seat two or more fully grown adults, and it's a fantastic way to create a whimsical feel under a cherry tree. Decorate the seat with cushions for added comfort, and finish the look with an outdoor rug. Choose from lovely finishes like cool blue, mint green, and red.

What We Like: Friendly message that comes with it

What We Don’t Like: White paint shows dirt and rust more quickly

Not So Good For: Uncovered and unprotected gardens

Perfect For: Using near the front door or garden entry

This metal outdoor bench with ‘Welcome’ inscribed on the back makes it perfect to place at the front entrance of your home or garden. It has a sturdy structure with non-slip feet and is waterproof and resistant to weather. With that said, this bench is best suited for covered gardens, patios, and balconies.

Its 480-pound weight capacity and 50-inch bench length can easily seat two people. The white bench is great for modern farmhouse themes, while the bronze bench is better for contemporary styles. If you live in a high-humidity place, we recommend the bronze bench because rust will form faster and show more easily on the white bench.

What We Like: It's lightweight and portable

What We Don't Like: A little tricky to put together

Not so good for: Anyone looking for an ornate design

Perfect for: A wooden patio

Create a unique outdoor space where you can hang out with family and friends or just enjoy some peace and quiet with this black metal bench. With a 500 lb weight limit and dimensions of 50 in. x 23.6 in. x 34.3 in., it'll comfortably seat up to two people.

The matte black powder-coated finish would look lovely on an urban porch or patio. You can sit on it while playing catch with your dog or while taking in the scenery in your garden. 

What We Like: Antique style

What We Don’t Like: How the chair legs stick out

Not So Good For: Neutral and more masculine garden themes

Perfect For: People wanting a stylish boost to their garden

Flaunting a feminine flair, this metal bench exudes a romantic feel to an outdoor garden with its vintage rose theme and round curves. Made of cast iron, it can hold a max weight of 480 pounds and is resistant to water and rust. Its non-slip feet prevent it from slipping on wet flat garden tiles.

Choose between bronze, green, and white outdoor metal benches to best match the colors in your garden. This bench is on the smaller side, making it a better choice for one person to sit on. If you are looking for a bench for you and your partner, choose a larger metal bench.

What We Like: Tree of life theme

What We Don’t Like: Comes in one color

Not So Good For: Smaller gardens

Perfect For: People who want a bench that reflects the beliefs

The tree of life on the backrest of this outdoor bench conveys the afterlife and the connection between earth and heaven. It is made of solid iron to withstand harsh outdoor weather and comes with a slat seat and curved armrests for added comfort.

Its durable build lets you place it in open and exposed gardens without the dread of it rusting. Feel free to sit it in grassy backyards with tall trees, in front of bushy grass plants and flowers, or on bark and stone paths. A metal bird bath pairs nicely with the animal and nature theme on this metal outdoor bench.

What We Like: It's easy to assemble

What We Don't Like: It's not comfortable

Not so good for: Extended hours of sitting

Perfect for: A wooden deck

Create a sense of destination in your backyard with this ornate garden bench. It's got a solid metal frame with an antique white finish and refined details like strolling track arms and a modern trellis backrest.
