How to Upgrade Your Garden Using Timber Furniture
A garden transformation doesn’t have to be a costly renovation.
Using timber, you can instantly upgrade the look of your outdoor space to create an environment you enjoy sitting in all year round.
Its adaptable, cost-effective and durable qualities make timber the best material for any garden upgrade.
At MG Timber, our wide range of timber garden furniture combines natural beauty with practicality for both domestic and commercial spaces.
This article will explain the easiest ways to transform your garden using timber.
Wooden Dining Sets, Tables and Chairs
Creating a Cosy Garden Seating Area with Timber Furniture
Comfortable seating can change how often you use your garden.
Timber works well because it looks natural, blends with planting and suits both modern and traditional spaces.
A wooden picnic table, love seat, dining set or even a wooden bench can quickly become a focal point for outdoor gatherings or quiet evenings by a firepit.
Benefits of timber seating include:
- A warm and natural look that suits most garden styles
- Strong structure suited to daily use
- Surfaces that stay comfortable in hot or cold weather
MG Timber uses Swedish Redwood for its seating.
This softwood is known for strength, moisture resistance and natural insect deterrence. Smooth edges and a refined finish give the furniture a clean, contemporary feel.
Wooden Raised Beds and Planters
Creating a Healthier Garden
Raised beds and timber planters help shape a garden so it feels intentional and organised.
They add height and create tidy planting zones that look good throughout the year. Practical benefits also include:
- Better soil drainage and improved root growth
- Fewer issues with pests
- A cleaner, more structured layout
Timber can also be stained to highlight its natural grain and bring depth to your garden design.
This small detail makes beds and planters look more finished and cohesive.
Wooden Bin Stores
How Does Timber Improve Garden Waste Storage?
Wheelie bins often disrupt the look of a well-kept garden. Timber bin stores offer a simple fix. They hide unsightly bins, protect them from the weather and deter pests.
A good timber bin store provides:
- Strong, treated cladding for long-lasting protection
- A neat, discreet appearance
- Improved hygiene by keeping lids secure
This quick upgrade helps keep your outdoor space tidy and intentional.
Wooden Workbenches
Should You Add a Timber Workbench for Organisation?
A wooden workbench brings both charm and practicality.
Hooks, shelves, cabinets and small storage compartments keep tools off the lawn and make day-to-day gardening easier.
A timber workbench offers:
- A dedicated space for potting, pruning and composting
- A rustic, lived-in look that suits outdoor environments
- Better organisation and reduced clutter
It also creates a clear working zone that shapes the layout of your garden.
What Are the Benefits of a Wooden Log Store?
As colder weather approaches, a good supply of dry firewood becomes essential.
Timber log stores provide covered, well-ventilated storage that helps logs season properly. Key advantages include:
- Large storage capacity
- Enhanced airflow for better burning performance
- A neat way to keep firewood accessible throughout winter
A well-designed log store combines function with attractive natural cladding.
