Know before you buy
Pressure-treated pine is specifically infused with preservatives to resist rot, decay, and insect damage, making it a highly durable choice for long-term outdoor exposure.
The yellow zinc glider brackets and bearings are designed for smooth, consistent motion. While they are durable, we recommend periodically checking the hardware and keeping the track clear of debris to ensure the gliding action remains seamless.
Yes, the bench is available in an unfinished option, which allows you to apply your own preferred paint, sealant, or wood stain to match your existing outdoor decor.
The weight limit for this bench is either 400 lbs or 500 lbs, depending on the specific length you choose. The 4-foot model typically supports 400 lbs, while the larger 5-foot and 6-foot models are reinforced to accommodate up to 500 lbs.
The Natural-Kote™ finish is an eco-friendly, soy-based stain that provides a protective layer and color to the wood right out of the box. The unfinished option arrives as raw, pressure-treated pine, requiring you to apply a protective finish to prevent weathering.
Yes, if you choose to add cupholders, they are integrated into the bench design during the hand-building process by the Amish craftsmen. You can select a configuration with zero, one, or two cupholders based on your preference.
