- Built like a tank: The combination of treated wood and steel fixings handles heavy use well.
- A blank canvas: The natural finish is versatile but will require staining for weather-proofing and colour.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan Inn, a bustling riverside pub in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, needed to overhaul its tired-looking garden. Their old, mismatched furniture was uncomfortable and showing its age, failing to make the most of their prime location.
"We wanted seating that felt traditional, comfortable, and could handle a busy summer. These softwood garden benches were spot on. Customers love them, and our garden feels so much more inviting. People are definitely staying longer, and it’s just made the whole atmosphere better."
David Chen – Owner, The Swan Inn
Since installing six Rowlinson benches, the pub has seen a noticeable uplift in garden trade, with drink sales on sunny days increasing by an estimated 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before you begin, lay out all the parts and check them against the instructions to ensure nothing is missing.
- Assemble the bench on a flat, level surface to ensure the frame goes together squarely and without any wobbles.
- Loosely tighten all the stainless steel fixings first. Only fully tighten them once the entire bench is constructed.
- We recommend this as a two-person job to make holding the parts in place much easier and safer.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, simply use a brush and a bucket of warm, soapy water. Avoid using a pressure washer, which can damage the wood grain.
- Check that all fixings are tight at the beginning of each season to ensure the bench remains stable and secure.
- To maintain the wood's colour and add an extra layer of protection, apply a suitable wood stain or oil once a year.
- Always place the bench on level ground to prevent uneven stress on the frame and joints over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I paint or stain this bench?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's supplied with an untreated natural finish, so you can paint or stain it to any colour that suits your business's branding. We recommend using a treatment suitable for outdoor softwood.
Q: How many people does it actually seat?
A: It's designed as a 3-seater bench, comfortably accommodating up to three adults.
Q: What does 'pressure treated against rot' mean?
A: It means a preservative has been forced deep into the wood's grain under pressure, giving it excellent long-term protection against rot and decay, which is essential for UK weather.
Q: Are the fixings supplied with it?
A: Yes, all the stainless steel fixings required for assembly are included in the pack.
Q: Is the assembly difficult?
A: No, it's designed for easy self-assembly. The instructions are straightforward, and we recommend two people to make the process quicker and easier.
Q: What is FSC-certified softwood?
A: FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification ensures the wood comes from forests that are managed responsibly, considering environmental, social, and economic factors.
Q: How heavy is the bench once assembled?
A: The total weight is 32kg, making it sturdy and robust enough to stay put in windy conditions, but still manageable to move if needed.
Q: Can the bench be anchored to the ground?
A: While not supplied with ground fixings, the legs can be secured to a patio or decking using appropriate L-brackets from a hardware store if you require extra security.
The Rowlinson Promise: Classic Design, Commercial Durability
In a commercial environment, furniture is more than just an object; it's a long-term investment in your customer experience. This Rowlinson softwood garden bench commercial model is the embodiment of that principle. Beyond the dimensions and timber type, it represents reliability. It’s a classic, unassuming design that won’t go out of style, meaning your investment won't look dated in a few years. For over 90 years, Rowlinson has built a reputation on quality timber products that are made to last. This bench is a direct reflection of that heritage. By choosing a simple, robust design, you are actively avoiding the future maintenance headaches and replacement costs associated with more complex or less durable outdoor furniture. It's about providing a consistently pleasant, comfortable, and safe environment for your patrons, which in turn builds loyalty and encourages them to make your establishment their regular spot.
Explore more from RowlinsonWhat Does 'Pressure Treated' Really Mean for Your Business?
You see 'pressure treated' on lots of outdoor wood products, but what does it actually involve? Think of it like marinating a tough cut of meat to make it tender and flavourful all the way through. With this bench, the timber is placed in a special vacuum-sealed tank, which sucks all the air out of the wood's pores. Then, a powerful preservative solution is forced deep into the grain under high pressure.
This process is far more effective than just painting a protective coat on the surface. The preservative penetrates right to the core of the wood, providing long-lasting, 'inside-out' protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attacks. For a busy business owner, this means your wooden park bench for cafes or pubs will last significantly longer with far less maintenance, shrugging off damp British winters and saving you time and money in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs and Bars: Ideal for creating a classic, welcoming beer garden that encourages patrons to settle in for hours.
- Cafes and Bistros: Perfect for pavement seating or a back garden terrace, adding rustic charm and durable capacity.
- Hotels and B&Bs: A smart choice for guest gardens, patios, or smoking areas, offering a comfortable and presentable spot to relax.
- Holiday Parks and Attractions: A cost-effective, weather-resistant garden bench to place around grounds, play areas, and communal spaces for visitors.
