Features/Benefits
The Britannia bench is a classic park bench design. This is a heavy bench at 52kg with large sections of teak giving strength and durability. The seat slats run side to side in the traditional manner.
The wide top rail is designed with our CNC engraving in mind allowing 2 lines of 1 inch engraving.
The bench is made of FSC certified plantation teak providing you with a long lasting, stable, strong bench sourced from responsibly managed forests. Teak doesn't need to be treated, it ages beautifully to a silver patina.
The scrolled top to the arms (flat bottom) is a classic look and the teak gives that soft feel which only teak can give.
The large leg profile of 75x75mm gives a solid foundation and structure for bench.
The Britannia doesn't have any wood lamination. Lamination is used in the industry to reduce costs, it involves glueing pieces of wood together. We have seen examples of wood delaminating, so our advise is avoid it if you have the budget.
The main mortise and tenon joints are manufactured so that when the dowel is driven into place, the joint is pulled tight. With a properly constructed joint assembled in this manner, glueing is not required.
When you receive the bench, it will be fully assembled.

Engraving
This bench can accommodate 2 lines of engraving on the top rail. The maximum number of carved letters is 90 characters on the first line and 90 characters on the second line (including spaces).
The V carved letters are typically 0.3inch/8mm deep, depending on the font type and size. This depth of carving takes a lot of machining time but the result is an inscription which is crisp, clear and readable.
Choose how many lines of engraving you require, then type the inscription above the "Add to cart" button. Finally, select your font type from the drop down list and add it to cart.
We offer free design proof, please choose this option if you require one.
We aim to make the letters as large as possible, for example if you choose one line instead of three, then the letter height is likely to be larger.
You can further personalise your bench by adding the following:
