Natural log benches offer a unique and totally natural seating alternative to modern benches often found in playgrounds and other outdoor spaces.

Set just above ground level, it is accessible by children of all ages and ideal for a woodland outdoor nursery or forest school, as well as traditional playgrounds.

Caledonia Play can create the size of bench that works best in the area of installation and will select the best samples from the following species of timber: Douglas Fir, European Larch or Scots Pine.

To make them comfortable to sit on, each bench has a planed and sanded top seat with chamfered ends.

The flat bottom has 100mm hardwood block legs fitted to allow for levelling.

Use in conjunction with the company's rustic log stumps to create outdoor learning zones or unique storytelling areas.

Dimensions

  • Length: 2-3m; optimum - 2.4m

  • Diameter: 300-400mm (will vary as this is a natural product)

Installation

A site forklift will be required to move around the site (not included).

Material

Whilst the company uses the best sources of timber available, it is almost inevitable that cracking / splitting (known as checking) will occur weeks or months after installation. This can be especially prevalent during the hot summer months as the timber dries out.

Similarly, the bark will fall off and this is part of the charm when using natural logs.

This product comes with FSC chain of custody certification.
