5 Outdoor Living Products for Enjoying Your Garden this Summer

Barbeques with friends and family, lazy afternoons in the sun, and pottering around the flowerbeds, tending to precious plants and flowers… however you like to spend your time in the garden, the Forest Garden wooden garden furniture range will help to elevate your experience this summer. We’ve got garden benches, tables, chairs, picnic tables and arbour seats that offer comfort, style and quality at an unbeaten price.

But don’t just take our word for it – check them out for yourself! Here’s everything you need to know about some of the key products in the range.

1. Forest Slatted Wooden Garden Chair 2’3 x 2’11

Sometimes, you just want to kick back, relax and recline in your garden with a good book or cup of tea. This sleek wooden garden bistro chair lets you do just that on your patio, on your lawn or tucked away in a quiet corner. The deceptively simple design consists of two pieces of timber that slot together for easy assembly (and disassembly as we move towards the cooler months!) and don’t require any fixtures and fittings. That timber has been planed for a smooth finish and comes with Forest’s hallmark 15-year anti-rot guarantee.

If you like the idea of matching sets, you can team the chair with a Forest Slatted Wooden Garden Table and give yourself a handy platform for food, drinks, magazines and books. Or why not treat yourself to the whole set for even greater value for money?

2. Forest Wooden Sleeper Pew Garden Bench 4’11 x 1’4

Benches come in all shapes and sizes and we love the simplicity of the Forest Wooden Sleeper Pew Garden Bench. With a design inspired by traditional church pews, this elegant bench will sit neatly against a wall or fence, or along the edge of a pathway. It’ll provide the perfect resting point now and for years to come too, thanks to its pressure-treated timber (and that 15-year anti-rot guarantee). It won’t need any retreating either, so all you’ll need to do is decide where it should live in your garden!

3. Forest Kuba Curved Wooden Garden Bench 4'11 x 2'5

For a bench with a back – and one that’s contoured to maximise your comfort – you can’t go wrong with the Forest Kuba Curved Wooden Garden Bench. The contemporary, curved and ergonomical design looks great and feels great too, with its smooth-planed finish and pressure-treated timber. It boasts the usual 15-year anti-rot guarantee, won’t require retreatment and comes in flat-pack format for a quick and easy self-assembly process (you just need to provide the tools!).

There are also three sizes to choose from (1.5m, 1.2m and 0.60m), so you’ve got the luxury of being able to find the ideal fit for your outdoor space.

4. Forest Colour Block Wooden Garden Picnic Bench 4'8 x 4'7

We’re all familiar with the look and feel of the traditional wooden picnic table. They’ve been doing a sterling job in our gardens, parks and recreational areas for years. But what if you could get the same functionality with a modern twist?

That’s exactly what the Forest Colour Block Wooden Garden Picnic Bench provides. Like it’s classic cousins, this picnic table seats up to four adults and has a wide slatted tabletop for food and drinks. But it also boasts a striking black timber frame that contrasts beautifully with the natural wood elements. And it’s made from sustainably sourced and pressure-treated timber. Add in the 15-year anti-rot guarantee and all that’s left to ask is: what are you waiting for?

5. Forest Wooden Garden Dining Table and Benches Set 5’11 x 2’6

Space-saving garden furniture is always a favourite, particularly in smaller areas where that space is at a premium. The Forest Wooden Garden Dining Table and Benches ticks this box and more with it’s clever design, where the benches tuck away underneath the table, reducing its overall footprint when it’s not in use.

While you might assume that this space-saving feature limits the overall size of the set, the truth is that you still get generous proportions (including a 1.8m x 0.76m tabletop) and plenty of room for a comfortable seating and dining experience. You can also pick up the table and benches as separate items, for added versatility.

These are just a few of the stunning and expertly designed pieces of wooden garden furniture from Forest that we sell here at B&M Garden Buildings. Discover the full range online and enjoy your garden in style this summer!
