Wooden Benches vs A Recycled Plastic Garden Bench
| Feature/Metric | Traditional Timber (Treated Softwood/Hardwood) | British Recycled Plastic – Premium Recycled Polyolefin Blend |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | High. Annual staining, sanding, varnishing and chemical treating needed. | Zero. Never needs painting, staining or oiling. Easy to clean with basic washing. |
| Lifespan & Durability | 5–10 years is typical, even with regular treatment. Rots, warps and cracks. | 25+ years guaranteed. Impervious to rot, insects, frost and damp. Will not crack. |
| Safety | Splinters over time and cracks, creating liability risk. Absorbs moisture, encouraging moss. | 100% splinter and crack -free. Non-porous — does not absorb water, resists moss and algae. |
| Vandalism & Fire | Vulnerable to carving and surface damage, spray-painting or bring ignited. | Graffiti easily washes off with solvent. Highly resistant to surface burns. |
| Environmental Impact | Relies on felling trees, contributing to deforestation and loss of carbon-storing woodland. Needs repeated replacement over time. | Made from recycled UK plastic waste — keeping trees in the ground and plastic out of landfill. Fully recyclable at end of life. |
| Total Lifecycle Cost | Low purchase price but high recurring costs: treatment, replacement parts, and labour. | Higher upfront cost but zero ongoing maintenance. Lower whole-life ownership costs due to minimal maintenance and replacement requirements. |
