Deck benches enhance and provide the finishing touches to decks. You can spend a lot of time and money on a good decking system so you need to provide the same attention to detail in your choice of seating.
Deck benches are of three main types…
Fixed seating – these are built into the dech and not moveable. Quite often built in the same materials as the deck.
Semi Fixed – slotted into the deck structure but moveable without getting the toolbox out. These deck benches could consist of a set of deck planks set in a recess groove between two brick plinths.
Freestanding – moveable matching or contrasting benches or ‘pews’.
Deck benches built into the structure of the deck, perhaps around the perimeter on or against a retaining wall can provide a lot of seating options. If you plan to have guests or have a large family, this is a wise choice and also gives many aspects to the sun or shade at any time of the day.
