Is the 180cm bench large enough to comfortably seat four adults?

Yes. The Grand Heritage 4-seater is 180cm in length, which is the premium standard for a 4-person bench. It offers ample space for four adults to sit together comfortably.

Can this Grade A teak bench be left outside all year in the UK?

Absolutely. Our teak is naturally saturated with oils that prevent rot, warping, and moisture damage. It is designed to live outdoors 365 days a year in all UK weather conditions.

Does the 180cm York bench require a lot of maintenance?

No. Because we use Grade A heartwood, the bench is self-protecting. You can let it age naturally to a silver-grey or apply a sealer once a year to keep it golden. A simple annual wash is all that is required.

What makes Mortise and Tenon joinery better for a large bench?

This is the strongest method of construction. It ensures the bench remains stable and the joints do not loosen over time, which is essential for a large, heavy-duty 180cm bench.

Is the wood used in this 4-seater bench sustainable?

Yes. All Palm and Olive teak is sourced from government-regulated, sustainable plantations to ensure our products are as eco-friendly as they are luxurious.

The Grand Heritage York: 4-Seater Grade A Teak Bench (180cm)

The Definitive Statement Piece for Grand British Gardens and Terraces

Transform your outdoor space into a sanctuary of sophisticated comfort with the Grand Heritage York 4-Seater Teak Bench. Measuring a substantial 180cm, this is the largest and most prestigious bench in the Palm and Olive collection. It is designed specifically for those who require generous seating without compromising on the architectural elegance of the classic "York" silhouette.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this bench is an investment in both style and longevity, engineered to withstand the rigours of the UK climate while maintaining its high-end aesthetic for decades.

Unrivalled Material: 100% Certified Grade A Teak

At the heart of the Grand Heritage collection is our commitment to quality. Unlike mass-produced garden furniture made from inferior sapwood (Grade B or C), our benches are carved exclusively from Grade A Heartwood.

Natural Weatherproofing: Grade A teak is harvested from the centre of mature trees, where the concentration of natural protective oils is at its peak.
Maintenance-Free Resilience: These oils provide a built-in defense against moisture, frost, and rot, ensuring your bench remains structurally sound through every British winter without the need for chemical treatments.

Traditional Joinery for a Lifetime of Use

A bench of this size requires superior structural integrity. The Grand Heritage 180cm model utilizes Mortise and Tenon joinery, a time-honoured woodworking technique where pieces are interlocked and secured with solid teak dowels. This ensures the frame remains rigid and stable, comfortably supporting four adults while allowing the timber to breathe naturally across the seasons.

Owning a 180cm Teak Garden Bench is a low-effort, high-reward experience. To maintain its beauty, we recommend:

Embracing the Patina: If left untreated, the honey-gold wood will naturally transform into a stunning silver-grey patina over 6–12 months. This is a hallmark of luxury teak and is highly sought after by garden designers.

Preserving the Golden Glow: If you prefer the original warm tones, simply apply a high-quality Teak Sealer annually to the dry wood surface.

Annual Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush and mild soapy water once a year to remove surface dust or organic debris.

Winter Strategy: While Grade A teak is fully frost-proof, using a breathable cover in peak winter will keep your bench clean and ready for immediate use in the spring.
