A Puddle Seat for Bright, Durable Public Seating
The puddle seat is designed for environments where seating needs to feel welcoming while still performing as hard-working public infrastructure. With colour-painted iroko slats and a robust steel frame, it offers a practical way to introduce visual interest to schools, parks, and community spaces without relying on complex forms or high-maintenance finishes.
Its compact size and upright proportions make it a useful option for play areas, courtyards, and smaller dwellings where seating is needed but space is limited.
Steel and Hardwood Bench Construction for Outdoor Use
Built to Broxap’s quality standards, the Puddle Seat combines painted iroko hardwood slats with a galvanised and polyester powder-coated steel frame. The galvanised protection supports long-term corrosion resistance, while the powder-coated finish helps maintain a consistent appearance through year-round exposure.
Construction highlights include:
• Galvanised steel frame for anti-corrosion durability
• Polyester powder-coated finish (single standard Broxap colour, black as standard)
• Painted iroko hardwood slats designed for outdoor seating comfort
• Compact, robust build suited to repeated public use
As a steel-and-hardwood bench, it offers a balanced combination of strength, comfort, and straightforward maintenance.

The seat is available with painted iroko slats in a bright palette commonly specified for child-friendly and community environments, helping coordinate with play equipment, surfacing and site branding.
Slat colour options include:
• Brown
• Green
• Yellow

This makes the Puddle Seat a practical outdoor school bench choice where colour and visibility are part of the wider design brief.
