Our 25 Year Commitment to the Natural World

At Wealden Benches we believe that a high quality garden bench should not come at a cost to the planet. For 25 years our family business has operated on the principle that durability and sustainability are inseparable. We understand that our customers want furniture that stands for decades while respecting the forests that provided the timber.

 

 

Sustainable Teak Garden Benches

Wealden Benches is audited and verified by the FSC® organisation to provide absolute confidence in our quality teak wood and provide a chain of custody evidence required for developers and homeowners to meet their legal sustainability mandates. This certification is the gold standard for responsible forest management ensuring that the timber is harvested in a way that protects biodiversity and prevents deforestation and respects the rights of local communities. Our Heritage Grade timber is chosen for its high natural oil content and dense grain which means your garden bench requires no chemical stains or toxic preservatives to withstand the British weather. It is a 25 year asset that is as kind to the earth as it is beautiful to the eye.

One Tree Planted Reforestation Partnership with Ecologi

The Wealden Bench Difference ~ Personalisation, Expertise and Trust ensures you are supporting a legacy of environmental stewardship that spans a quarter of a century. For every single bench purchased we fund the planting of one tree in a verified reforestation project.

Carbon Reduction - We actively support community led initiatives that restore ecosystems and protect wildlife habitats worldwide.

Virtual Forest - You can track our collective impact as we continue to grow our virtual forest alongside the thousands of customers we have served across the UK.

Traditional Craftsmanship as a Sustainable Choice

In a world of disposable products our "No Flat Pack" philosophy is an environmental choice. By using traditional mortise and tenon joinery and extra heavyweight 8 x 8cm profiles we ensure your garden bench has a natural life expectancy of over 25 years. This longevity reduces the need for replacement furniture and minimises the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and transport.
