Garden Bench FAQs

How long will a recycled plastic garden bench last?

British Recycled Plastic benches are built to last for decades, and all come with a 25-year guarantee with no maintenance required. (Exclusion: Our Stainless Steel Garden benches have a 20-year guarantee.

How to maintain a recycled plastic outdoor bench?

Maintaining recycled plastic outdoor benches is really simple. There are no treatments, staining or sanding required. If the garden bench gets dirty, dusty or mossy, simply wipe it off with warm soapy water. Alternatively, an annual jet wash will also work.

Are recycled plastic garden benches heavy-duty?

Absolutely, our recycled plastic lumber that is used to make our garden benches is incredibly dense, so they are quite heavy.

They’re heavy-duty and suitable for at-home use or for public spaces such as parks, community gardens, hospital grounds and schools. We also offer heavy-duty picnic benches designed for public spaces with consistent use.

Are recycled plastic garden seats and benches suitable for parks and public spaces?

Definitely! Our heavy-duty, low-maintenance recycled plastic garden benches are perfect for the public sector. The ability to install a park bench and leave it for years to come makes them a great choice for councils, NHS trusts. We also offer a huge range for garden benches for schools who need to minimise maintenance and stretch budgets.

Do recycled plastic garden benches come with a warranty?

Yes. As with all our products, our recycled plastic garden seats and benches come with a 25-year guarantee. Our stainless steel garden benches come with a 20-year guarantee.

Can I buy a recycled plastic memorial park bench?

Can you paint a recycled plastic outdoor bench?

It’s not recommended to paint a British Recycled Plastic bench. The recycled plastic material is chemically inert and is designed to be maintenance-free, with built-in colour that won’t peel, or require upkeep. For this reason, additional paint won’t penetrate the surface, making it ideal for areas at risk of vandalism.

With British recycled plastic benches, you can enjoy a long-lasting, vibrant finish without the need for painting or additional treatments.

Is a recycled plastic park bench flammable?

Unfortunately, yes, if it has a flame maintained against it, it will eventually catch fire and burn like wood. While we appreciate that this isn’t what everyone would like, it is essential to the overall sustainability of our recycled plastic. Adding a fire retardant would mean that it could not melt and therefore be subsequently recycled at the end of its life.
(As per the criteria of UL94 horizontal burn test, our recycled plastic has been classified as HB, which is an equivalent of BS EN 60695-11-10:- Part 11-10: Test flames — 50 W horizontal and vertical flame test methods.)
