What garden benches to choose?
To sit in the cool under a branchy tree, you can take out a chair in the garden, even a banquet, if it's not too massive, but it's pretty ridiculous to look at home furniture in nature. Even typical street-park parks, standing in urban green areas along the tracks, look much more natural in this respect. However, it is better to put on the dacha a more original bench, if not man-made, then at least made to order. Even the most primitive shop from a plaque stuffed with two standing hemp, will look more than organic .Do not you want to be so modest? The choice is great.
Let's start with the same wooden structures. Garden garden benches can be made of boards with details from the same stumps or spits of trees, thick branches. The latter can be used as legs, backrests, armrests. If you choose the same length and thickness of the branch, they will even produce a full seat. In the course often go logs and beams, which can serve even as a ready bench, as well as trimming, suitable for the manufacture of poles. You can buy or order a metal bench, but in this case it is better to choose an openwork option, since heavy cast iron structures heavily weight space. The same applies to stone benches. Not a bad option - folding plastic seats, inexpensive, light and mobile.
Original benches for summer cottages - we create a cosiness on the site
In olden times, the villagers liked to sit on a mound, the usual earthen embankment under the walls of the house, stretching all around its perimeter. Often on top of a board or a log, sometimes completely covered with a tree. However, it is much more pleasant to sit in the shade of the house on a comfortable bench and lean back or directly on the wall of the building. Depending on whether you make a shop or buy yourself, you can stop on the design of a particular degree of complexity: without a backrest, with a backrest, a bench-sofa with comfortable armrests .In this case, any option can be with a twist. For example, the original benches for dachas are obtained from an unedged board with rounded edges and corners, covered with linseed oil and varnish.
In the diligent owners in the course goes everything - instead of the legs to the seats are attached slightly buried in the ground wheels from the cart, protruding from above the arches which are at the same time and armrests. The back of any bench can be made woven from a vine, you will get a very original design that will perfectly match with the same woven fencing of the garden or garden. Very good swing-benches for the garden, they can be either metal or plastic, and wooden and even wicker. In the latter case, a corner for rest can be furnished with a whole suite - swinging on the chains with a "sofa" and two "chairs" in the form of baskets suspended to special racks.
For pendant benches, chains of quality steel are needed, which can withstand loads of more than 500 kilograms, and metal bars can also be used as suspensions.
Garden shop made of metal, stone and plastic
If you want monumentality in garden furniture, do not get carried away, too heavy design of the benches is completely devoid of any hint of comfort, they can be beautiful, but it does not look at all against the background of greenery. For a suburban area, an openwork metal garden bench is more preferable, for example, forged, especially in a plant motif, when iron stems and leaves are intertwined on the backrest and armrests. You can make supports in the form of mythical creatures, for example, dragons from metal, or use a light metal profile and eventually get a portable bench.
Stone benches are put permanently, it is almost impossible to move them, except with the help of special equipment, like loading bogies with a lift. Especially it concerns monolithic blocks, without pronounced supports. Imagine a bench dug from a marble and mentally place it in your garden. Will it look in it? Hardly you need a garden bench, more like a pedestal for a statue, so marble is only suitable as an element of landscape design, especially since it will still be uncomfortable to sit on it. Furniture for the countryside should be mobile, which means that sometimes a more practical plastic box will be more practical, which, by the way, is produced in a variety of varieties, among which there are quite expensive, exclusive models.
