Picnic Benches

What kind of picnic benches do we have in our range?

Our range includes wooden picnic tables designed for durability and quality. You’ll find traditional rectangular picnic benches perfect for family gatherings, with attached seats that can seat 6-8 people. We have 5ft and 6ft models to fit different garden sizes and group numbers, so these benches are ideal for home gardens as part of your outdoor living space. For more flexible seating our detached bench sets allow easier access without having to step over, while round and hexagonal designs create social spaces for relaxing and chatting. Beer gardens and commercial spaces will love our heavy duty models built for constant use, with reinforced construction for high traffic areas. Schools and public spaces can rely on our institutional grade options for durability and safety.

Which size picnic table should I choose for my space?

The right size picnic bench depends on your usage and garden size. A 5ft wooden picnic bench is perfect for smaller families and compact patios, seating 4-6 people without overwhelming the area. For larger groups or bigger gardens 6ft picnic tables can seat up to 8 adults with room for meals and activities. Each person needs about 24 inches of bench space to sit comfortably. Round designs 7.5ft across create intimate spaces where 8 people can chat, while hexagonal models seat up to 10 people. Always leave clearance space around your table for movement. Position your picnic bench to enjoy a nice garden view and you’ll have the perfect outdoor dining experience.

Why is pressure treated timber the best for outdoor furniture?

Our wooden picnic tables are made from pressure treated imported timber, chosen for outdoor performance. Pressure treatment forces the preservatives deep into the wood fibres, creating rot resistance that will last for years. This treated timber withstands moisture, insects and seasonal weather changes that damage untreated wood. The imported timber is from sustainably managed forests, combining environmental responsibility with durability. Each board is kiln dried before treatment to prevent warping and splitting. The result is garden furniture that will last for many seasons, requires minimal maintenance and will serve families and commercial customers well.

How do I create the perfect outdoor dining experience with my picnic bench?

Position your wooden picnic bench near your home’s kitchen or patio for easy meal service. The attached bench design means no separate chairs, creating a clean look for your garden. Add weather resistant cushions in colours to match your space for family meals and gatherings with friends. Consider installing a parasol through the centre hole on many models for shade on sunny afternoons. String lights or solar lanterns extend use into the evenings, creating magical spaces for people to relax and socialise. Surround the area with potted plants or flower beds to create a dedicated dining area separate from the rest of the garden.

How do I choose picnic tables for commercial and institutional use?

Commercial installations need wooden picnic tables that can withstand daily use while being safe and comfortable. Our heavy duty models have reinforced construction with bolted joints for strength under constant pressure. Schools, beer gardens and public spaces require furniture that’s vandal resistant yet comfortable. Pressure treated timber means the tables will withstand the weather and heavy traffic. Anti-tip designs prevent accidents even with uneven weight distribution and smooth surfaces reduce splinter risks. Models with removable or detached benches are easier to clean – essential for health and safety compliance. Contact our staff for bulk pricing and installation options; we can customise solutions to suit your site. Larger or special versions of the 8 seater round bench can be made to order for specific projects.
