Wooden Garden Benches - but where from?

[rarara]

Looking to get a bench or two for the garden, maybe even the pub-style picnic type and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for something fairly robust, but not too expensive??

Or anywhere within the Glasgow area for a more local service?

If on a medium budget then I can recommend this bench:

www.robertdyas.co.uk/robert-dyas-3-seater-fence-bench

Down side is that it is not teak (so will rot quicker than more expensive) and relatively light weight (so will break quicker that more expensive). But I found it was very good price, strong enough for my use, happily seats three people and shop is around corner. They also had one at my robertdyas so I could examine and sit on it first.

If you have some basic tools, you could make one yourself.

I got a fantastic teak bench from here a couple of months ago.

It was an end of line clearance that cost £40 (down from over £110) and was delivered for free in less than 48 hours.
Probably the wrong time of year for similar bargains, but worth a look.

made a bench table and 2 benches today from 6x2treated [145x45mm] 2 boards per seat 1495mm long 300 wide 380mm high
with the table 1495 long 840 5 planks wide and 760 high
it doubles as a big work bench
and if you mount the bench seats on top off each other you can have a 1140 wide table or even wider if you space them apart for something like a bed base or large dresser top

costs around £90 for the timber
