Gothic Arch Garden Arbour Bench
Project type
Gothic arched timber arbour bench
Location
Cartmel, Cumbria, UK
Design Brief:
The client wanted a statement piece for their garden that would provide comfortable, weather-protected seating while blending beautifully into their natural surroundings. The brief called for a handmade arbour-style bench with a distinctive arched roof, evoking a church or chapel silhouette, and offering year-round functionality.
The finished piece was designed and built entirely from scratch using pressure-treated timber, featuring:
A tall, curved gothic-style roof for striking aesthetics and rain protection
Slatted backrest and seat for breathability and comfort
Framed side panels for added wind shielding and structural support
A naturally unfinished timber look, ready for optional staining or treatment
Robust joinery for long-term outdoor use
