Garth Bench
Comfortable two seater solid oak bench. Elegant floating design is supported by buried posts. Presented at Chelsea Flower Show 2023 and featured in BBC Grand Tour of Scotland’s Rivers
The Garth Bench has curved back-rests and a slatted seat supported by robust posts. Our steam-bending technique allows us to shape wood whilst keeping the fibres intact providing maximum strength in elegant components. Our traditional hand made joint-work is beautiful, effective and durable. This bench particularly suits meadow, mountain, woodland settings.
Our garden furniture is made in durable Scottish oak sourced in Perthshire. Oak is virtually maintenance-free, extremely hardwearing and can be left outside year round. Oak contains very high quantities of a natural chemical called tannin. Tannin is one reason that oak is so hardwearing and can be left outside as bare wood. (Other timbers need chemical surface finishes to slow down rot). Tannin is water soluble and in the first few weeks of rain you may see some dark staining (like tea) on the surface of the wood. This disappears as it is washed away by rain and the wood develops a silvery grey patina.
