£873.00
Classic country charm with our Rustic Oak Plank Garden Bench. Handmade to order in our Lincolnshire workshop from 100% solid kiln-dried European oak, this plank-style bench features wide solid oak planks for seat and back, showcasing natural grain patterns, knots, and authentic rustic character. Lighter in style than our chunky sleeper bench but just as strong. Perfect for gardens, patios, allotments and cottage settings. Each piece is built using traditional joinery and finished by hand for strength and outdoor character. Our bespoke service means we tailor bench length, plank width, seat depth and finish to suit your outdoor space perfectly. Real wood, built properly, made just for you.
Each piece is made to order, ensuring every rustic oak plank garden bench carries its own unique grain patterns, knots, and natural oak character - no two are ever identical.

FAQ
Q: Is this plank garden bench handmade?
A: Yes - handmade from start to finish in our Lincolnshire workshop. Each rustic oak plank garden bench is built using traditional woodworking methods by skilled craftsmen from 100% solid kiln-dried European oak.
Q: What is the difference between plank and chunky garden bench?
A: Plank style uses wide solid oak planks for seat and back for a lighter, traditional garden bench look with gaps. Chunky uses solid sleeper-style thick beams. Both are 100% solid oak and fully bespoke - plank is popular for cottage gardens and allotments.
Q: What sizes can you make?
A: Fully bespoke. Our bespoke service means we make to order: any bench length (2-seater, 3-seater, 4-seater), plank width, seat depth and height. Tell us your garden dimensions and we tailor it. Made to measure quote available.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use year-round?
A: Yes - built from solid kiln-dried European oak, naturally durable for outdoor use. As natural material, oak will silver and weather beautifully outdoors. We recommend outdoor-grade oil finish and can advise on care.
Q: What finishes are available?
A: Hand-applied outdoor oak oil, natural oak oil, or weathered finish options. Each finish enhances the wood’s natural character while providing outdoor protection. Tell us your garden style and we’ll advise.
Q: How long does production take?
A: As each piece is handmade to order, lead times vary depending on workshop demand. We’ll confirm your made-to-order timeline when you enquire. Quality craftsmanship takes time.
