Now the weather is improving your thoughts are turning to enjoying your garden in the summer months. For many, there is no greater pleasure than sitting in your own garden, relaxing and admiring your handiwork. However, before purchasing garden seating you should give careful consideration to the materials used in its construction and where you are going to place it. There is little doubt that natural materials, wood in particular, suit the garden environment best. All Trueshopping’s garden and patio furniture is made from the finest timber, sourced from sustainable plantations and forests.

Where you place your seating, especially garden benches that may need to be fixed in place, is crucial. You should try to position your bench in a sheltered spot, out of the wind and shaded from direct sunlight in the heat of a summer’s day. Ideally you should have some sort of screen at the back of the seat because most people feel uncomfortable with an open space behind them. You should also try to position your garden seat in a recess, off the path, so that the bench does not pose a hazard when you are walking past. If you are fortunate enough to have the space, you could position garden seats and benches in different locations around the garden to take advantage of the most favourable conditions at different times of the day.
