What to Consider When Buying a Garden Bench

When choosing a garden bench, think about how many people you want it to seat and where you plan to place it—whether it's in the garden, on the front porch, patio or backyard. Consider the material: wood offers a natural look, steel and cast iron provide durability and plastic is lightweight and easy to move. Also, think about the weight if you need to relocate it frequently to add more seating for outdoor dinners. Finally, choose a color and style that complements your outdoor décor.
