To start with, why did it need to be built better? Well if you have ever had to find the time to assemble some of our competitors benches, and had to drive one of those 4" screws into a 2" deep hole with of all things a slotted screw driver, only to find it still wobbles, well that is only the beginning....Here is how our bench is so much better...

The English Garden bench is the most popular piece in garden furnishings, and until ours, was one of the most uncomfortable. Most English Garden benches, catch you right in your lower back on their top rail, and have you sitting more up right than a church pew. We have raised our top rail almost three inches, and relaxed the angle of the back over 14 degrees, which translates into a much more comfortable bench.

Most of the benches out there have flat arms, most people do not. We have curved our arms, to contour comfortably to your arm and rounded the end off to look pretty.

The next thing we noticed about most garden benches, is that all of the wood used is of different widths. The seats are made of 3" wide material, the arms are made of 4" wide material, and the backs are made of 2" wide material. All of those wide boards seem to develop cracks and checks in them. We have solved that problem, by making the backs, arms, seats, and legs, all of the same thickness making it much easier on the eyes.

And speaking of easier, couldn't something be done to make the seat a little more comfortable? Yes, we did that too. And why do they all seem to feel so loose? Some benches have mortise and tenon joints. The strength of these joints depends on how tightly they fit. And as they dry rot, the joints become loose. Other benches are held together with sheet rock screws. These benches are the worst because the screws are way undersized for the job. Our benches, use twenty massive 14" x 4" hardened lag bolts. This is the very best method to use. And speaking of screws, couldn't something be done to make the at-home assembly easier? This is our most significant improvement of all. No tools required, that's right- the only tools you will need will be included with your bench, and we have cut the assembly time required on these benches to less than half of that of our competitors, and have made it so much easier, that even the hand strength of a ten-year old could assemble these benches, and have made them many times stronger in the process.

Available in 4 foot and 5 foot widths.
