Garden benches can set a relaxing tone in your outdoor space and offer an excellent way to unwind after a long day or catch up with family and friends in the warm summer months. Ideal for both smaller and larger gardens to add a dedicated, relaxing garden zone for all the family to enjoy.
To easily incorporate a garden bench into your current aesthetic, we have an array of wooden, metal and plastic garden benches to accommodate your style and preferences to offer durability without sacrificing style. Our garden storage benches allow you to hide away your planting, cutting and pruning tools or provide a dedicated space to house your garden cushions in the winter months.
When you’re enjoying the warmer months with family and friends or dining al fresco, a 2-seater bench or 3-seater garden bench is a great addition. Incorporate an outdoor bench alongside a wall of your garden, or beside your garden chairs and table, to seamlessly add extra seating to your space. Why not shop for our outdoor gazebos too? And get the perfect place to relax in the shade.

At Robert Dyas, we have a variety of great-value furniture pieces designed to withstand the elements, including everything from swing seats and garden sofa sets to sun loungers. You'll find the perfect pieces to suit the style of your garden, alongside your garden bench.
What is the Best Colour to Paint a Garden Bench?
The on-trend garden bench colours for this season involve adding pops of colour with bold blues and warming greens. Painting your garden bench with bright colours immediately creates a statement look and can be a great way to experiment with colours before painting your garden shed or fence the same colour.
To ensure your garden bench outlasts the latest trends, we’d recommend warm exterior paints such as grey, chalky white, black or a simple wood stain for a natural yet durable finish. Before painting, discover our helpful guide to caring for your garden bench. Learn how to repair, stain and protect your bench from the elements.
What is the Best Wood for a Garden Bench?
Hardwood benches made with either teak or redwood are favoured for wooden garden benches due to their durability and weather-resistant features. To preserve your bench for seasons to come, we recommend oiling or varnishing your wooden furniture once a year to maintain its natural design.
