Outdoor Benches & Bench Seats

Absolutely. Teak benches are a stylish and practical companion to rectangular outdoor dining tables. They allow for shared seating and help maximise table length, especially in tighter alfresco settings. For a cohesive look, consider pairing with matching or complementary finishes from our teak outdoor furniture collection.

Backless benches offer flexibility and a clean, minimalist look, but they do provide less lumbar support during extended use. For added comfort, you can pair them with outdoor bench cushions.

Yes, many customers use their teak outdoor bench indoors or in covered areas like balconies and verandas. Teak’s natural finish works beautifully across architectural styles, from coastal and contemporary to rustic and classic. These benches also work well in entryways as stylish storage seating.

Not necessarily. Teak is naturally smooth and finished for bare use. However, outdoor chair cushions can add an element of softness and colour, and can complement other pieces in your outdoor settings.

This depends on your seating needs and available space. A 2-seater bench typically spans 90–120cm, while a 3-seater can range from 150–180cm. Match the bench length to your table for dining setups, and leave at least 30cm clearance at each end for ease of movement.

Teak requires minimal upkeep. A seasonal application of the Golden Care Teak Protector will help maintain the same look you originally fell in love with. Otherwise, allow it to weather naturally into a soft silver patina. For routine maintenance, clean with a soft brush and mild soap.

Yes, our garden benches are designed to withstand full outdoor exposure. That said, using a breathable cover can extend the life of your bench, especially in high-rainfall or coastal regions. Covers also minimise cleaning and protect from debris during the off-season.
