Wulfern Drima Poly Lumber Garden Bench

A two-seat garden bench in soft blue poly lumber, stained through rather than painted. Rated to 700 pounds, and it assembles with nine screws.

You are buying a single bench. The spec sheet rates it for two people across a seat 43.7 inches wide and 19 inches deep, with a shaped arm at each end and a full slatted back. Overall it stands 36.81 inches tall and 48.2 inches wide, so it reads as a proper garden bench rather than a narrow porch perch.

• One bench, two seats

  You are buying a single bench. The spec sheet rates it for two people across a seat 43.7 inches wide and 19 inches deep, with a shaped arm at each end and a full slatted back. Overall it stands 36.81 inches tall and 48.2 inches wide, so it reads as a proper garden bench rather than a narrow porch perch.

• Poly lumber, not timber

  The frame and every slat are high-impact polystyrene poly lumber made from recycled stock. The colour runs through the material instead of sitting on the surface as paint, so a scuff will not expose a different tone underneath. Up close it reads as a clean stained finish with a light grain rather than raw wood, which is what keeps it looking the same season after season.

• Slatted back, shaped arms

  The back is a run of vertical slats set under a gently arched top rail, and the arms curve out and down to a flat top wide enough for a mug or a paperback. Square legs are tied by a side stretcher between the front and back leg at each end, which is the joint that stops a bench racking when someone drops onto one side of it.

• Assembly takes nine screws

  The bench arrives as a few pre-drilled sections and goes together with nine screws. You supply an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver; neither is in the box. One person can finish it, a second pair of hands makes lining up the back quicker, and hand tools beat a power driver here because the fixings pull up snug and then want to stop.

• Made to be left outside

  Poly lumber does not take on water, so the bench will not rot, crack, peel, or rust the way a painted timber bench does. The spec sheet lists it as weather, UV, and fade resistant, which is the part that matters when a bench sits in full afternoon sun for a whole summer. At 61.52 pounds it is heavy enough to stay put in wind.

• Rated to 700 pounds

  The listed weight capacity is 700 pounds across the two seats, comfortably past two adults sitting together with a bag of shopping between them. The bench itself weighs 61.52 pounds, enough mass that you feel it when you move it and enough that it does not shift when someone sits down hard at one end.

• Cleaning is soap and water

  Wipe the slats with a dry cloth for dust, and use mild soap and water when pollen or bird mess needs more than that. There is nothing to sand, stain, or reseal at any point. A bench left uncovered through a wet winter can pick up a film of surface mould, which rinses off in spring and does not stain the material underneath.

• What ships with the bench

  One blue poly lumber bench in pre-drilled sections, plus the nine screws that join them. Not included: an adjustable wrench, a screwdriver, a seat cushion, or a cover. The legs sit flat on the ground with no glides fitted, so add felt pads if the bench will slide around on a finished deck.

Good to know

• Tape a 48.2 by 19 inch rectangle. That is the footprint on your patio.
• The seat is 43.7 inches wide, sized for two people rather than three.
• Legs sit flat on the ground with no glides. Add felt pads on a finished deck.
• 61.52 pounds assembled. Two people carry it easily, one can walk it.
• Required at home. Nine screws into pre-drilled holes. You supply an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver. One person can do it; two is quicker.
• The bench is the product. Plants, planters, walls, paving, doorways, and other surrounding furnishings are styling only.
