A custom outdoor lounge sofa is designed around your terrace, veranda, patio or covered outdoor area. Choose from robust recycled wood, solid Douglas fir, floating designs, timber beams on a steel frame and bespoke outdoor cushions. At Dutchwoodcraft, dimensions, timber, finish and seating comfort are all made to measure.
A bespoke outdoor lounge sofa can be made from recycled wood, Douglas fir or other timber and designed in many different styles. Dimensions, timber, colour, seat height, seat depth, armrests, frame and cushions are fully tailored to your garden, terrace or veranda.
A strong, clean design with straight lines. Ideal for both recycled wood lounge sofas and robust Douglas fir models.
An angled armrest gives a wooden lounge sofa a lighter profile and creates a softer transition between seat, back and side.
Wood combined with a metal base gives the lounge sofa a clean, architectural appearance. From slim steel to a more substantial frame, timber, metal and cushions are designed as one bespoke piece.
By setting the supporting structure back, the seating section appears to float. Ideal for a modern custom lounge sofa with a lighter, more spacious look.

For cushions used both indoors and outdoors, the fabric is an important part of both comfort and appearance. We work with high-quality outdoor fabrics including Sunbrella and Sunproof. Both brands offer many options for lounge cushions, seat cushions, back cushions and other made-to-measure cushions, but differ in appearance, collection and price level.
Would you prefer a waterproof fabric or an option that offers extra protection against moisture? Those options are available too. Not every fabric has the same properties, so we will look at the intended use with you and advise which solution is most suitable.
Sunbrella is often chosen when a luxurious appearance, an extensive colour palette and a premium finish are important. Its broad collections make it possible to coordinate custom cushions precisely with your furniture, garden, veranda or interior.
Sunproof is a strong choice when you want a colourfast outdoor fabric with an attractive price-quality ratio. Its collections include many plain colours, patterns and textures, making it widely suitable for made-to-measure cushions.
For a particularly luxurious result and a very extensive collection, we often recommend Sunbrella. If you are looking for a strong outdoor fabric at a more accessible price level, Sunproof offers many suitable options. This comparison is not a limitation: other fabric brands are also possible. In our showroom you can compare different brands, qualities and textures side by side and see and feel the differences.
The comfort of a custom cushion is not determined by thickness alone. Foam type, firmness, resilience and construction together make the difference between a firm seat, a relaxed lounge feel or softer, deeper comfort.
We work with various types of cold foam. Cold foam is resilient, shape-retaining and available in different firmness levels and qualities, allowing it to be tailored to both firm seat cushions and comfortable lounge cushions.
We also work with polyether in different densities and firmness levels. Polyether can be a good choice for many applications, for example when a cushion may be slightly softer or have a simpler construction.
There are many more possibilities, including different foam qualities, combinations of materials and tailored constructions for specific situations. The right choice always depends on cushion thickness, desired seat height, seat depth and how the furniture will be used.
An 8 cm thick cushion requires a different construction from a generous 12 or 15 cm lounge cushion. A straight dining bench, deep lounge bench, window seat or garden chair also places different demands on support.
Softer fillings are often more comfortable for back cushions. Our loose back cushions, for example, can be filled with foam flakes so they feel supple and adapt more easily to the body.
Everything contributes to comfort: not only the foam itself, but also its thickness, cushion dimensions, the angle of the backrest, available seat depth and even the chosen fabric.
If you are unsure between different firmness levels or constructions, we recommend trying them in person. In our showroom in Neede you can experience different seating comforts before we make your custom cushions.
This prevents a choice being made on numbers alone. What is described on paper as medium-firm or firm can feel very different in practice depending on thickness and the complete cushion construction.
A lounge sofa is not something you choose from a photograph alone. In our showroom you can compare different timber finishes, constructions, fabrics and foam types, giving you a much better sense of colour, scale and seating comfort.
Ideally, bring the dimensions of your terrace or covered area, a few photographs and, if possible, a simple sketch. We can then advise directly on length, overall dimensions, seat depth, armrests, timber and cushions.
Every outdoor space is different. That is why we start with the available dimensions and desired seating position, not with a standard bench.
We discuss the available length, overall dimensions, walking space, terrace layout and positioning under a veranda or covered area.
We determine the timber, armrests, construction, seat height, seat depth, colour and desired cushion design.
The lounge sofa is made in our own workshop; custom cushions are produced in our own sewing studio.
We deliver according to route planning. When assembly is part of the order, we install the lounge sofa at the agreed location.
A custom outdoor lounge sofa 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, overall 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 lounge sofas. 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa with matching outdoor cushions.
For a warmer and more substantial wood appearance, a Douglas fir lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa made from Douglas fir can be built from boards or from heavy solid beams. With a Douglas fir beam lounge sofa, 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofas. 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 lounge sofa. 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 lounge sofa. 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 outdoor lounge sofa can be designed specifically for the available space. One side can be considerably longer than the other, allowing an L-shaped recycled wood bench or Douglas fir lounge sofa 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 sofa, 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 lounge sofa with Sunbrella cushions combines a robust wooden frame with a premium outdoor fabric. A Douglas fir lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofas, 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa 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 lounge sofa with cushions, a Douglas fir lounge sofa with made-to-measure cushions or a solid wooden beam bench as one complete bespoke project.
Whether you are looking for a custom outdoor lounge sofa, recycled wood lounge sofa, Douglas fir lounge sofa, wooden lounge sofa, 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.
One point of contact for both furniture and seating comfort: the lounge sofa is made in our workshop and the cushions can be produced in our own sewing studio.
Every lounge sofa is made for the individual project in our own workshop.
