Custom Built Garden Bench | Case Studies

The client, a residential homeowner with a passion for gardening, was looking for a unique addition to their outdoor space. They desired a feature that would not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of their garden but also serve a functional purpose.

With a vision for a space that would allow them to enjoy the garden throughout the year, they sought a solution that would be both visually striking and durable.

Project Objective:

The goal of this project was to design and construct a stunning seating area that could endure the unpredictable British weather. The seating needed to be practical, offering a comfortable spot for relaxation, while also seamlessly blending into the garden's existing layout.

Additionally, the bench was to be designed to double as a trellis, supporting climbing plants and integrating with the client's future gardening projects. The result would be a harmonious addition to the garden, enhancing both its beauty and functionality.

Scope of Work:
FMT Solutions specialises in creating custom-made furniture, and this project was no exception with a gorgeous bespoke bench. Once we collaborated with the client to finalise the design and took all necessary measurements, we began the custom carpentry in our Ferndown workshop.

Our skilled team crafted the bench with precision and care, ensuring it met the client's vision. The entire process, from the initial design phase to the final assembly, was completed in under two weeks.

Materials Used:
We prioritise sustainability in our projects by using reclaimed wood whenever possible.

This approach not only helps us create environmentally friendly builds but also allows us to work within our clients' budgets without compromising on quality. For this garden bench, the use of reclaimed wood resulted in a stunning and durable piece that seamlessly integrated with the garden's natural elements.

Timeline:
The entire process, from initial design to the finished product, took just two weeks. Our efficient workflow and dedicated craftsmanship ensured that the custom garden bench was delivered on time, ready for the client to enjoy in their garden.

Initial Consultation:
During the initial consultation, we took the time to understand exactly what the customer envisioned for their garden. We discussed their desires for the space and worked out how to deliver their dream within their specified time frame and budget. After assessing the garden and taking precise measurements, we headed straight back to the workshop to kick off the project.

Planning & Design:
With the measurements in hand and a clear visual idea of the customer’s goals, we began the design phase. We explored various design options, refining the plans until we landed on the perfect blueprint that matched both the client’s vision and the practical needs of the space.

Execution:
Executing the design was a smooth process, thanks to the customer’s clear and detailed vision. We used high-quality reclaimed wood and the best tools available in our workshop to bring the design to life. The garden bench took shape quickly and efficiently, staying true to the plan we had developed.

Final Touches:
To complete the project, we carefully laid the brickwork to ensure the new seating area blended perfectly with the existing garden. The final step was to install our bespoke wooden bench, seamlessly integrating it into the surroundings, creating a beautiful and functional outdoor space for the client to enjoy.
