Custom outdoor corner bench, recycled wood corner bench, Douglas fir corner bench, wooden lounge bench and bespoke garden furniture
A custom outdoor corner bench makes full use of the available space on a terrace, patio, veranda or beneath a covered outdoor area. At Dutchwoodcraft, every bench is designed around your space from the start. Length, corner dimensions, seat depth, seat height, backrest, armrests, wood type and construction are all made to measure.
One of our characteristic materials is recycled wood. This robust wood has a natural, lived-in appearance and works particularly well for large garden benches, lounge seating and outdoor corner benches. In the Netherlands this material is known as steigerhout; in English it is sometimes described as scaffolding wood. On this page we mainly use recycled wood because it describes the look and character more naturally for an international audience.
A recycled wood corner bench can be designed in a traditional, contemporary or extra-robust style. Straight armrests create a clean and powerful shape, while angled armrests give the wooden bench a lighter profile. For relaxed seating, we can also create a deep recycled wood lounge corner bench with matching outdoor cushions.
For a warmer and more substantial wood appearance, a Douglas fir corner bench is an excellent choice. Douglas fir is strong, attractive and particularly suitable for robust outdoor furniture. It can be used in a classic wooden construction or combined with steel for a more modern architectural design.
A corner bench made from Douglas fir can be built from boards or from heavy solid beams. With a Douglas fir beam corner bench, the wood itself becomes a defining design feature, creating a bold piece of garden furniture for a terrace, veranda or outdoor lounge area.
For a contemporary look, we often combine wood with metal. A Douglas fir corner bench on a steel frame brings together the warmth of natural wood and the clean lines of metal. The frame can remain visually understated or deliberately become part of the overall design.
We also make floating Douglas fir corner benches. By setting the supporting structure back, the seating section appears to float. This gives a substantial wooden bench a lighter and more modern appearance without losing the strength and character of solid Douglas fir.
The same concept is possible as a floating recycled wood corner bench. The characteristic texture of the wood remains visible while the construction becomes cleaner and more contemporary. This creates an interesting combination of rustic wood and modern outdoor furniture design.
Armrests have a strong influence on the final appearance of a custom wooden corner bench. A straight armrest gives the bench a calm, solid look, while an angled armrest creates a more open profile. Both designs are possible in recycled wood and Douglas fir.
A large L-shaped outdoor corner bench does not have to be symmetrical. One side can be considerably longer than the other, allowing an L-shaped recycled wood bench or Douglas fir corner bench to follow the exact shape of your terrace, patio or veranda.
For generous lounge seating, we can create additional seat depth. With a deep wooden lounge corner bench, we take the thickness and shape of the back cushions into account so that enough usable seating depth remains once the cushions are in place.
The wooden furniture and cushions can be designed as one complete project. A recycled wood corner bench with Sunbrella cushions combines a robust wooden frame with a premium outdoor fabric. A Douglas fir corner bench with Sunbrella cushions can likewise be coordinated in wood finish, fabric colour and overall style.
Sunproof is another popular option for custom outdoor cushions. A wooden corner bench with Sunproof cushions offers a broad choice of colours, patterns and textures. We can advise which outdoor fabric best suits the appearance, use and budget of your project.
For more substantial furniture, we can create a Douglas fir beam corner bench with custom cushions. Solid wood, steel and outdoor fabric can be combined into one bespoke design, with both seat and back cushions made to measure in our own sewing studio.
We make corner bench cushions to measure for our bespoke outdoor furniture. The cushions are produced to the exact internal dimensions of the bench, whether the frame is made from recycled wood, Douglas fir, a combination of wood and steel or a heavy beam construction.
For seat cushions we work with materials including HR cold foam and polyether in different densities, thicknesses and firmness levels. A deep outdoor lounge bench may require a different foam construction from a more upright wooden garden bench.
Back cushions can be made in a clean tailored style or as softer loose cushions. Structured back cushions work particularly well with modern wooden corner benches, while softer fillings create a more relaxed lounge atmosphere.
The finish of the wood has a major effect on the final look. A recycled wood corner bench in grey wash, a dark-treated Douglas fir bench or a natural Douglas beam bench can each create a completely different atmosphere, even when their dimensions are similar.
Under a veranda or covered patio, a custom garden corner bench can be designed precisely between walls, posts or columns. Bespoke wooden furniture is therefore particularly useful in spaces where standard garden seating does not fit properly.
If required, we can also make a matching wooden lounge table, coffee table or side table. The same wood type, beam dimensions, finish or board structure can be repeated so that the entire outdoor seating area forms one coherent design.
Larger projects can include additional details such as an integrated corner table, wider armrests or extra surfaces. This turns a custom wooden corner bench into a complete outdoor seating solution designed around the way you use your garden or terrace.
For heavy furniture, accessibility is considered in advance. A solid Douglas fir beam corner bench can be considerably heavier than a lighter recycled wood model, so gates, passages, stairs and the route to the terrace need to suit the chosen construction.
In our showroom in Neede you can compare recycled wood, Douglas fir, different wood finishes, Sunbrella, Sunproof and several foam qualities. You can see and feel the materials and experience different levels of seating comfort before deciding on the final design.
The Dutchwoodcraft Company has its own workshop and sewing studio. This means we can complete a custom recycled wood corner bench with cushions, a Douglas fir corner bench with made-to-measure cushions or a solid wooden beam bench as one complete bespoke project.
Whether you are looking for a custom outdoor corner bench, recycled wood corner bench, Douglas fir corner bench, wooden lounge corner bench, floating wooden bench or solid wood seating on a steel frame, we design every piece around your outdoor space, preferred materials, style and seating comfort.
