Garden Benches - Versatile Seating Perfect for the Summer Holidays

The summer holidays, that's when you try to throw the best parties in your outdoor space. So, you go all out. You have the best food, plenty of lawn games, and lots of beverages for everyone to enjoy. But wait, is seems that you might have forgotten something? What is it? Comfortable seating and a fine option that fits the bill are garden benches. They're great for placing in any outdoor setting.


Garden benches are an extremely versatile furnishing that really would work well in any outdoor setting. Yet, before we get to that, it's time to talk about why they are so comfortable. You see, they will generally feature a spacious, long seat, supportive backrest, and armrests. There are those of the backless variety too that have curved seats and there are also ones available in many different sizes.


And, one way you can make your garden benches even more posh then they already are is by purchasing some cushions for them. Think about it, as you sit down this plush padding and fabric nicely contours to your body, really, there is nothing that is more relaxing. If you do decide to go with cushions, make sure that you purchase ones made from Sunbrella fabric. Why? The reason is because this is one of the most durable fabrics around that won't break down under the elements as it is weather repellent, water resistant, and has colorfast so it won't fade.


Now that you know a little bit more about garden benches, and cushions, it's time to go into some of the different places where they would work well. One nice spot would be right on your lawn, providing everyone with a nice spot to take a breather in between intense games of bocce ball or volleyball. Another great place you could put one is you guessed it, in your garden since it offers you a wonderful way to take in the fruits of your labor. Along with those, a few other awesome places include your porch, a deck, on a dock overlooking the water, and any patio or four seasons room.


When purchasing garden benches, keep in mind the type of material it is crafted from. Go with something that is made out of a higher end material, that way it won't break down under the different outdoor conditions. A few of the nicer options include sturdy plastic resins and polymers and woods like Northern White Cedar, Southern Yellow Pine, and Teak. Each is dependable and will create a strong selection.

Check out all the options that you could purchase for your space by doing some online shopping. In a matter of minutes you can find exactly what you're looking for just by surfing through all the online stores. When you do happen upon what you want, it will typically be at the best prices available and it will be shipped to your home.


When the summer holiday's hit this year, make sure you have nice seating in place by purchasing some garden benches. They would be a great fit in any outdoor setting.

Backless Bench Q&A

What is the slimmest booster seat available on the market?

We have twins on the way, and we need better options for fitting all three of our kids across the bench seat in the back of our Ford Windstar minivan. Currently, our boy is in a Cosco backless booster, and the two girls are still in convertible car seat/boosters. We need to find the narrowest seats we can to fit all three kids across the back, and still have room to find the seat belt buckles! We can cram the seats we currently have in there, but it's murder trying to get to the seat belts. Anybody have any suggestions?
We do have the latch system - but still have to use the regular seat belts. Sorry - I should have been more clear - they are in the convertible booster seats that use the over-the-shoulder seat belts, rather than the 5-point harness. In BC, Canada, they have to use a booster seat until they are at least eight years old or eighty pounds, but at this point they are so tall that no five pointer will fit them.

Does your minivan have the LATCH system? It could make it a lot easier installing the carseats. If it doesn't, you might want to look into contacting your local Ford dealership about how to update that.

Otherwise, I'd say just go to your local baby's r us if possible. Ours literally has rows upon rows of carseats out for people to look at (and a practice car-bench to show how to install them.)

I found the following sites though that might help. The first is a car seat that is 17 inches across (they even have a picture of triplets in their seats in the back of an SUV...) The second link is a way of looking for car seats that might fit in your car (but it seems pretty incomplete to me.)

Add: Sorry for the thumbsdown... not sure what I said that doesn't work. But honestly, if it was me I'd go where there's a display of as many car-seats as possible and take my measuring tape. I just think you'll get more accurate results that way. Baby's R Us where I live has the most complete collection of car seats for people to look at... so I'd start there. I wouldn't necessarily buy from them though.

And the booster seats actually, they do have a lot of those as well. To me... that's just what I'd do.
