Product Summary

• Solid Oak Garden Bench
• Unusual sleeper design
• Mortise and Tenon joints
• Crafted in East Sussex
• Can be finished with Hard Wax Oil

Product Summary

Oak is regarded as a particularly attractive hardwood given its light tone and stand out grain markings. It is also renowned for its resistance to fungal and insect attack, strength and density – as borne out by the weight of this bench.

Production

A solid oak sleeper is planed on all four sides for a smooth finish. Mortise and Tenon joints are then crafted for the uprights. Feet and braces provide additional stability.

Maintenance

These garden benches will develop further character as the air dried oak they are crafted from continues to dry. Any splitting and cracking will only enhance appearance – there will be no structural impact.

Over time, the plinths will also silver down given exposure to sunlight. As with the drying out process, the extent of this will largely depend on where the plinth is positioned.

Finishing

This listing is for an unfinished garden bench. For an additional charge of £35, however, we can apply a coat of Hard Wax Oil before shipping. Whilst this will not prevent the drying out and silvering processes, they will be delayed, particularly if the oil is reapplied on a regular basis.
