Know before you buy
The unfinished option arrives as raw, knot-free Southern yellow pine, which is highly susceptible to water damage and requires you to apply a sealant or stain immediately upon arrival. The finished options are pre-treated with eco-friendly paints or stains, providing a protective layer that is ready for outdoor exposure right out of the box.
The 5-foot version of the bench is rated for a weight capacity of 500 pounds. While the 4-foot and 6-foot versions are built with the same sturdy construction, it is recommended to keep weight distribution within reasonable limits for the specific length chosen.
Yes, the armrests are designed with comfort in mind, measuring 3.5 inches wide and sitting 8 inches above the seat surface. This provides a stable, ergonomic resting point for your arms while you sit.
Yes, the painted finishes are eco-friendly and contain only 25g/L of VOCs, which is just 10% of the non-toxic maximum. This makes them a safer choice for residential garden and porch settings.
Yes, integrated cupholder configurations are available as an optional add-on regardless of which length you choose. This feature is built directly into the bench design during the manufacturing process.
