Garden arbour seats are versatile structures that can add a touch of elegance and comfort to any garden. These seats are not only practical for sitting and enjoying the outdoors, but they can also serve as a decorative element in your garden, often acting as a focal point.

The range of garden arbour seats available on Build4Less includes various types, sizes, and designs to suit your specific needs and preferences.

What is a Garden Arbour Seat?

A garden arbour seat is a decorative outdoor structure that combines seating with a partial overhead covering—often styled with trellis panels or a slatted roof. It’s both a functional garden bench and an architectural feature, offering a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the outdoors while enhancing the charm and character of your garden space. Arbour seats are typically crafted from timber and are ideal for climbing plants like roses or wisteria, adding natural beauty over time.

Standard Arbour Seats

Standard arbour seats typically include a bench with a roof, creating a shaded area for you to relax. Examples of these in our category include the "Blossom Arbour," "Hebe Arbour," "Forget Me Not Arbour," "Mimosa Arbour," "Balsam Arbour," "Rose Arbour," "Arum Arbour Seat," among others. These seats are generally 4ft x 2ft in size and come pressure-treated to ensure longevity.

Corner Arbour Seats

Corner arbour seats are designed to fit snugly in the corner of your garden, providing a cosy and space-efficient seating area. Our collection includes the "Honeysuckle Corner Arbour," "Corner Arbour," "Venetian Corner Arbour," and "Firenze Corner Arbour." These seats are larger, typically around 4ft x 4ft, and are also pressure-treated for durability.

Large and Speciality Arbour Seats

For those with more space and looking for something more substantial, we have larger arbour seats like the "Pressure Treated Clematis Arbour" and "Pressure Treated Arbour," which are 6ft x 6ft and 7ft x 6ft, respectively. We also offer speciality arbours such as the "Forest Garden Cadiz Arbour," "Forest Garden Lyon Arbour," and "Parisienne Arbour," each with unique designs to add a special touch to your garden.

Rustic and Traditional Arbour Seats

If you're looking for something with a more rustic or traditional feel, consider our "Rustic Seat," "Stretton Arbour," "Salisbury Arbour," or "Balmoral Arbour." These seats often feature classic design elements and are made from high-quality materials to provide a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing seating area.

When choosing a garden arbour seat, consider the size of your garden, the style you're aiming for, and how you intend to use the seat. Also, take into account the maintenance requirements and the pressure-treatment of the wood, as these factors will affect the longevity and appearance of the arbour over time.

By selecting the appropriate garden arbour seat for your needs, you can create a beautiful and functional outdoor space that you can enjoy for years to come.

Benefits of Garden Arbour Seats

Applications of Garden Arbour Seats

 Installation Tips

• Choose a Level Base – Install on a flat, stable surface such as concrete, paving slabs, or compacted gravel.
• Use Ground Anchors – Secure the base with metal brackets or ground fixings for added stability, especially in windy areas.
• Allow for Plant Growth – Position near existing climbing plants or prepare to train new ones up the trellis.
• Treat Wood If Needed – While most models come pressure-treated, adding a wood preservative or exterior stain will extend life and enhance appearance.
