Description

For those who prioritise simplicity and longevity, the Shire Balsam Arbour offers quality at a highly affordable price. The Gothic design adds flourish to the durable design and creates a peaceful retreat in your garden. The bench can seat two people comfortably, so you can enjoy your garden space with your loved ones. 

The Shire Balsam Arbour is pressure treated for longer life, and is constructed from high quality slow grown timber. The Arbour is built to last and comes with a 10 year manufacturer guarantee. It is easy to position in the garden and can be personalised with paint. Supplied flat-packed for self-assembly, with easy to follow instructions. 

Pressure Treatment - With this treatment a preservative is forced into the timber under high pressure, providing effective long term protection against rot and fungus. Pressure treatment is almost colourless except for a light green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. You can personalize your Shire Arbour by either painting, staining or it can just be left. In the course of time, the treatment greys, but this does not affect the quality.

Customer Reviews

By Mrs Jean Winn on 4th August 2017

"Bought a new covered garden seat, very sturdy and we are very pleased with it. It was delivered quickly too. This would have earned five stars had it not been for the fact it did not come with pre-drilled screw holes which would have made assembly much easier for us amateurs."
