Handmade Picnic Benches, Built to Order in Essex
We build solid timber picnic benches by hand in Chelmsford, made to order for gardens, pubs, schools and trade across Essex and beyond. Every bench is built to your size and finished to last - no flat-pack, no warehouse, just properly made furniture from a real workshop.
Why a handmade picnic bench

Built to order, the way it should be
Because we build each bench individually, you're not stuck with standard sizes. Tell us the length you have, the number of seats you need, or a finish to match your setting, and we'll make it to suit.
It's slower than buying flat-pack - good making takes time - but you get a bench that fits, lasts, and can be repaired rather than thrown away.
