FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What wood is used to make your wooden garden benches?
Our benches are crafted from FSC-certified Acacia hardwood. This is a durable, dense wood ethically sourced from well-managed forests.
Can I leave the wood bench outside all year?
Yes, the hardwood construction is durable enough to remain outdoors year-round. However, to best preserve the quality and appearance of the wood, we strongly recommend covering the bench or storing it in a dry, protected area during harsh winter weather.
Do I need to treat my wooden garden bench?
To maintain the wood's original warm colour and increase its lifespan, we recommend you clean and apply a good quality hardwood sealer oil or teak oil once or twice a year.
Will the wood change colour over time?
Yes. If the wood is left untreated or only occasionally treated, the Acacia hardwood will naturally weather over time, developing a lovely silver-grey patina. This change in colour is perfectly normal.
