The Beamish Tree Seat fits around the trunk of a tree enabling people to sit and relax in the shade on a hot day.
The Lanchester Circular Tree Bench is designed to sit neatly around the trunk of an existing tree, transforming shaded areas into comfortable and usable seating zones. By working with the natural landscape rather than against it, this circular tree bench allows specifiers to maximise the value of established planting while providing inviting rest points within parks, gardens, and community spaces.
Manufactured from recycled plastic, the Lanchester offers a robust, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber or metal seating, making it particularly suitable for long-term public realm use.
*Please note: Colour options will feature either black or brown leg frames.
Unlike a standard bench, this tree bench is purpose-built to wrap around mature trees, encouraging people to gather, rest, and enjoy shaded environments during warmer months. It is frequently specified in areas that might otherwise remain underused, such as lawns, courtyards, and landscaped zones within larger developments.
Common applications include:
• Public parks and recreation grounds
• School grounds and campus environments
• Town centre green spaces and civic squares
• Community gardens and shared outdoor areas
The Lanchester tree seat is manufactured from 100 percent HDPE recycled plastic, offering excellent resistance to weathering and wear. Unlike timber, the material will not rot, split, or require ongoing treatment, and unlike a metal tree bench, it remains comfortable to touch in both hot and cold conditions.
Key material benefits include:
• Maintenance-free finish with no painting or staining required
• Resistance to moisture, corrosion, and insect damage
• Consistent appearance over time, even in exposed locations
• Suitable for year-round outdoor installation
Leg frames are supplied in either black or brown as standard, allowing the bench to blend discreetly into a range of landscape settings.
While round tree benches are often specified in metal for formal schemes, the Lanchester provides a softer, more natural aesthetic that sits comfortably within green spaces. Its recycled plastic seating slats echo the appearance of timber while delivering superior longevity and reduced maintenance obligations.
This makes it a practical option for local authorities and landscape designers seeking to balance sustainability, durability, and visual appeal.
The Lanchester Circular Tree Bench can be specified alongside other street furniture such as litter bins, planters, and picnic seating to create cohesive outdoor environments. Its unobtrusive design ensures it complements planting schemes without dominating the surrounding space.
For projects focused on sustainability, the use of recycled materials supports responsible procurement while delivering dependable performance in busy public settings.
