Kit in detail:
Our kit is made from high-quality materials that are not only stable and durable, but also look great. We combine aluminum and optional larch wood to build a garden bench that is both practical and beautiful.
- Aluminum frame: The frame is available in a stylish anthracite (RAL 7016 matte) or in a natural, untreated version. Aluminum is lightweight and does not rust, making it perfect for the garden. The powder-coated frame is even more resistant and gives the bench a modern look.
- Seat surface: The seat is made of high-quality larch wood that is weather-resistant. It repels moisture and pests, so the wood stays beautiful for a long time and is easy to maintain. The warm color and attractive grain of the wood pair perfectly with the cool aluminum frame and make the bench a true eye-catcher outdoors.
Different sets to choose from
The special thing about our garden bench kit is that you’re super flexible and can choose the set that fits you best:
-

-
Leg set without wood (set of 2): Already have your own wooden slats or want to create a custom seat? Then you can simply order the frame legs as a 2-piece set. That way you have the freedom to bring your own ideas to life.
-
Single leg element: Want to extend your garden bench or create a tailor-made seating solution for your garden? Just order individual legs. This makes it easy to turn a 2-seater bench into a generous 3-seater bench.

Tools and assembly of the garden bench
If you want to assemble your own garden bench, you only need a few basic tools. With a wood drill bit and a cordless screwdriver, you can attach the wooden slats. A tape measure and a pencil help you mark the right spots before you start. A rubber mallet is great for gently tapping in the tube end caps. And a clamp holds everything securely while you build. Don’t worry—the parts are already well prepared, so even beginners can put it together easily. Have fun building!
The right materials make all the difference: aluminum and larch wood
If you’re looking for a garden bench that can stay outdoors without wearing out quickly, make sure it’s made from good materials. Many garden benches are made from a mix of wood and metal. It looks great and holds up well. Aluminum is especially popular. It’s a lightweight metal that is still very stable. It’s not only durable, but also resistant to heat and cold. That’s why aluminum is ideal for furniture that is meant to stay outside.
You can also personalize your garden bench. For example, with colorful cushions for the seat or backrest. If you want, you can stain the wood of your bench in your favorite color. That creates a beautiful contrast with the sleek aluminum frame.
Care and maintenance
Both the aluminum frame and the larch wood seat are really easy to care for. If the frame gets dirty, you can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. Over time, the wood changes and develops a natural gray patina that many people find really beautiful. If you’d rather keep the original color, you should rub the wood with a suitable wood oil from time to time. This keeps it protected and looking warm and inviting.
