Classic benches are heavy, hand built and designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor life. We favour Prime grade Oak for its outdoor pedigree and beautiful grain and Iroko because of its density and resistance to decay, Iroko has similar characteristics to Teak with tight interlocking grain.
Generous timber sections are used on all designs. Typically on a park bench, the seat and back slats will be the first to succumb to the elements (eventually) so we make them thick enough to last as long as the rails and legs. High quality resin glue as used in the boat building industry and thick Stainless Steel screws are used to secure chunky mortice and tenon joints, deep screw holes are then plugged with Iroko or Oak dowels and shaved flush. All of which ensure many decades of active service.

We offer many bench designs that are particularly suitable as memorials to loved ones, all of which provide a fine and abiding tribute.

Brass or Stainless Steel Plaques can be provided, standard size: 6cm x 13cm, Rectangular or Oval.

We have many other plaque shapes and sizes not yet illustrated on this site. Plaques that follow the contour of the top or bottom rail, barrel shaped plaques for the ‘Classic II’ center slat etc. Please ask for more details.
