- How to Measure Your Garden or Patio for Proportional Fit
- 1. Define the Placement Zone Choose the area where the bench will sit—whether along a path, under a tree, or beside a planter. Measure the available length and depth, factoring in nearby features like flower beds or walls.
- 2. Allow for Circulation Space Leave 60–90 cm clearance in front and behind the bench for comfortable movement and legroom. If placing near a table or other seating, ensure enough space for people to sit and stand easily4.
- 3. Consider Visual Balance For a symmetrical look, leave 10–15 cm breathing room on each side of the bench. If placing centrally, align it with focal points like a fire pit, sculpture, or garden path.
- 4. Mock It Up Use masking tape, string, or cardboard to outline the bench’s footprint on your patio or lawn. This helps you visualise scale and adjust placement before committing.
- 5. Account for Surface & Stability Ensure the ground is level or consider adjustable legs or a stone base. Rustic oak expands and contracts with moisture, so proper drainage and breathable finishes help preserve its integrity
