Designer Advice:
Although aesthetics are important, tree benches need to be particularly durable to withstand the weather. The good news is that this bench ticks off all these boxes. It’s stylish, resistant, and easy to care for. That said, metal outdoor furniture tends to rust easily unless you prevent it in the first place. To do so, make sure you keep your bench dry at all times by using protective covers or storing it inside when not in use. You can also apply an anti-rust sealant for extra protection.
