We have created our own Garden Furniture Buyers Guide to help you make the right choice for your next garden furniture purchase. We have a wide range of styles plus a free bespoke design service which will enable you to get the perfect seating solution for your garden.
Our seats and garden furniture makes a great alternative to the metal, plastic and wood options that are widely available and this guide is designed to help you make the right choice for your garden and your lifestyle.
What should I consider before buying garden furniture?
Think about where in your garden you would like to use your furniture, is it going to be used on a patio, in the garden itself or does it need to form part of a wider landscape project? You also need to consider whether or not you would like to be able to store your furniture away or if you would like to make it a permanent feature in the garden, if your answer is the latter then WoodBlocX is your ideal solution.
Will my WoodBlocX garden furniture require regular maintenance?
WoodBlocX structures are maintenance free, all timber is pre-drilled and then treated so that the treatment penetrates 100% of the wood. No additional wood treatment is needed.
What should I do to prepare for my garden furniture?
WoodBlocX seats and benches can, like all WoodBlocX structures, be built on any surface - patios, grass, concrete, soil, tarmac etc. You will need to ensure that the surface is level and may therefore need to make some adjustments to the surface in order to achieve this.
Is it easy to build?
Our garden furniture is built in exactly the same way as all of our structures using our lightweight wooden blocks and fixed together with strong dowels. All customers receive a set of step by step instructions that are unique to their project. We also have a series of quick and easy to follow how-to-build videos which can be found HERE.
Do I need any special tools or materials to build it?
You will need a lump hammer and a spirit level for the main part of the build. For the preparation work levelling the ground you may need a shovel, rake, sharp sand and sub base depending on the surface that you plan to build on.
Should I add a liner to the planter sections?
Yes, we always recommend using a DPM liner for extra protection.
How long will it last?
As long as you follow our simple guidelines for building you structure you should get 20+ years, even more use out of it. For extra reassurance we guarantee all of our structures for 15 years.
How do I place an order for a bespoke garden furniture design?
