Ornate Metal Bench with Planters and Trellis - Black

Ornate Bench with Planters and Trellis - Black | Online8 New Zealand

A two seater black metal garden bench with a built-in trellis back and a planter box at each end. It is really three garden pieces in one frame: somewhere to sit, a screen for climbing plants to grow up, and two beds for flowers or clipped greenery either side. At 180cm wide and 180cm tall it does the work of a garden feature rather than just a seat — useful against a bare fence or wall, or as a way to close off the end of a patio.

Why It Stands Apart

• Trellis back for climbers: The full-height panel gives jasmine, clematis or a climbing rose something to grow up, so the bench builds its own green backdrop over a season or two.
• A planter at each end: Two integrated boxes for flowers, herbs or topiary — the greenery is part of the piece rather than pots dragged alongside it.
• 180cm tall: High enough to screen a view or soften a blank fence, which a plain bench cannot do.
• Seats two: Sized for a pair, so it suits a patio corner or a spot at the end of a path.
• Only 42cm deep: Shallow front to back, so it can sit tight against a wall or fence without eating into the garden.
• All-metal build: No timber to seal, stain or replace. Treated and Poweder Coated Metal. Build to last.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the plants included?
No. The topiary balls and greenery shown are styling only — the bench ships with both planter boxes empty.

Does it need assembling?
Yes, customer assembly is required. Allow time and a second pair of hands: at 180 x 180cm the trellis panel is large and awkward to hold square on your own.

What can I grow up the trellis?
Any light to medium climber — jasmine, clematis, climbing roses, sweet peas. Avoid heavy woody climbers like wisteria, which will outgrow a decorative trellis of this kind.

How deep are the planter boxes?
The bench is 42cm deep overall, so the boxes sit within that. They suit bedding plants, herbs and clipped shrubs rather than anything deep-rooted.

Should I fix it to the wall?
Worth considering. It stands 180cm tall with a large trellis panel, which catches wind — filling the planters adds useful ballast, and on an exposed site securing it to a fence or wall is sensible.

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, we ship nationwide. Shipping options are available at checkout.
