Our advice Buying Guide

While you may have initially disliked the fact that you had a tree in the middle of your garden preventing you from making other use of the space, adding a beautiful tree bench will instantly transform the look and enable you to make the most of your property. Here are some of the various styles of tree benches which are available to help you discover which is the best for you.

What different designs of tree benches are there to choose from?

Square wooden bench

This type of bench is square in shape and provides a snug fit around the tree. The square shape of the bench clashes with the circular shape of the tree trunk to create the appearance of more space and almost a patio or picnic area. This is a good way to maximize the space that you have and is a great design for families. There is enough space for cushions, blankets, plates and other accessories to make your time in the garden more comfortable.

Flower bed bench

You can buy this type of bench is either a circular or square shape, and it allows you to have an area for seating alongside a flower bed. The flower bed is the area closest to the trunk of the tree, while the outer part of the bench is a seating area. This is almost like two items in one, and if you don't have any plans to plant flowers in other areas of the garden, it's a great way to add some color.

Rounded iron bench

A round bench follows the shape of the tree trunk perfectly, giving a beautiful finish and looking almost like an extension of the tree rather than a piece of furniture which has interrupted the garden. Cast iron tree benches are popular, since iron is a sturdy material which is resistant to bad weather when outdoors. It may not be the most comfortable material for sitting on, however, so you can add both color and comfort to the area by adding some large cushions or throws.

Semi-circle (half a tree) bench

If you have a tree which is next to a fence or other obstacle which prevents you from positioning a bench all the way around the tree trunk, a good option to consider are semi-circle benches which only sit around half of the tree. These are also suitable for homes where there may only be one or two people or a large seating area isn't necessary. This design is available in various materials, including wood to fit in with the surrounding trees and nature, or cast iron for a sturdier and more durable bench.

Rock tree benches

For the ultimate natural look, why not choose a tree bench make from rocks? These can be made at home DIY style or bought externally. You can also customize the size of the individual seats or rocks depending on whether you have children and who will be using the area. Ensure they are carefully and securely positioned to prevent future accidents or mishaps.
