Traditional patio furniture falls further out of style as home improvement stores start offering more and more built in deck options to customers. Whatever your budget is, they’re sure to have something to please your home. They come in a variety of colors and styles. Another pro is that you won’t have to cover them when it rains outside. One downside is a slight lack of comfort compared to fabric seating arrangements.
Key Takeaways:
- If you’re building or already have a ground-level deck, it won’t require handrails. That being the case, benches can serve as a very clear and visually appealing way to demarcate the borders of your deck and define that perimeter.
- Without something there, it can often feel as if the deck simply disappears into nowhere. Benches, however, do give that finished, polished look.
- There’s a lot of variety within the styles and materials you can use for benching. That being the case, you have a lot of freedom and license to make your benches suit the design style you prefer for that outdoor space. Especially if you have a round or nonstandard shape deck, the benches can be made custom to match whatever layout that happens to be.
