Built in Deck Bench

Why a Built-In Bench Is a Great Addition to Any Deck

1. Maximizes Seating Without Taking Up Extra Space

Built-in benches provide ample seating without the bulk of freestanding furniture. Since they're integrated into the deck’s structure, they help open up floor space — especially important on smaller decks or patios.

Bonus: No need to store or rearrange outdoor chairs when guests come over!

2. Custom Design = Seamless Look

A built-in bench can be designed to match the decking material, trim, or railing, creating a cohesive, clean look. It adds polish and architectural interest, elevating the entire outdoor space.

Think of it as furniture that’s part of the design — not just placed on top of it.

3. Low Maintenance

Unlike outdoor furniture that can rust, tip over, or get damaged in a storm, a built-in bench is secure and sturdy. With the right materials (like composite or sealed wood), it will hold up to the elements for years with minimal upkeep.

4. Can Double as Storage

Want extra functionality? Built-in benches can include hidden storage compartments for cushions, garden tools, toys, or seasonal items. It's a smart use of space that keeps the deck clutter-free.

5. Great for Entertaining

Hosting a barbecue or get-together? Built-in seating makes it easier to accommodate groups without scrambling for chairs. It creates a natural gathering spot and encourages conversation.

A built-in bench isn’t just a seat — it’s a smart, space-saving, and stylish feature that makes your deck more usable, comfortable, and attractive. Whether you're building a new deck or upgrading an existing one, it’s a feature worth considering.
