Cast iron benches are consistently popular, even at this time of the year. Nevertheless we have included them in our current promotion, offering savings of up to 30% on our entire garden bench range, (with no minimum order quantity).
Our cast iron garden benches should not be confused with the smaller models available from other suppliers. Our Gothic model, (pictured), for instance weighs in at 150kg and spans almost two metres.
The Gothic cast iron bench is the most popular in the range, perhaps because of its ease of build. It is shipped in only four pieces, with the sides being fitted to the seat, before the back is slotted in. To aid the build process, we suggest sitting the seat on a block about 50cm tall.
Other models in the range include the stylish Art Nouveau Garden Bench, the smaller Floral Bench and the classic Ornate Bench. All are cast in iron.

Whilst there is a significant spike in interest in the Spring, the garden planter and cast iron urn market now tends to be popular all year round. To meet demand we are continually developing our range of cast iron garden urns, cast iron garden planters, fibreclay garden pots and fibreclay planters.
Despite being a new addition, perhaps the most popular amongst our customers in 2008 were the Faux Lead Fibreclay Troughs and Faux Lead Fibreclay Boxes, cast in the Chelsea style. These are supplied in a variety of sizes.
The largest of the models - the
100cm Fibreclay Trough and
65cm Fibreclay Box Planter – proved most in demand as they are not always widely available.
Our cast iron urns appeal more to customers with a traditional, reclamation style focus. The number of models we carry in stock means that we carry a cast iron urn for every planting requirement.
Our smallest stands at just 20cm, whilst our current largest is 1.95m. The latter are
Giant Campana Urns on Plinths that we commissioned last autumn. Other styles include smooth, fluted and Venetian Urns.
For customers looking for something a bit different, we offer Lattice cast iron planters in various sizes and finishes. Our
Large Antique White Lattice Planter stands out most from the crowd.
Other garden planters and garden pots include Faux Lead Fibreglass Pots and Silver Zinc Planters. The Silver Zinc planters are increasingly used for indoor planting.
