Yes, absolutely. Our outdoor bench factory specializes in custom, nature-integrated furniture, and a circular bench designed to wrap around a tree is one of our most requested and rewarding projects. We understand that a tree is often the centerpiece of a garden, park, or courtyard, and a custom circular bench enhances that focal point while providing intimate, 360-degree seating.
Designing Around the Tree’s Growth
The core challenge is accommodating the tree’s future growth. Our engineering team begins by measuring the tree trunk’s current diameter and noting its species to estimate growth rates. The bench is then designed with a generous, customizable gap—typically 4-6 inches—between the inner edge of the seat and the bark. This gap is covered with a removable, flexible seal or gap-filler to prevent debris accumulation while allowing the tree to expand naturally without damaging the bench or the tree’s root flare.
Material and Construction Options
We fabricate these benches from a variety of weather-resistant materials to match your landscape:
- Hardwood (Teak, Ipe, or Thermally Modified Ash): Ideal for a natural, organic look. These woods are naturally resistant to rot and insects. We cut them into curved segments that join seamlessly, forming a near-perfect circle.
- Powder-Coated Aluminum or Steel: Perfect for modern or commercial settings. The metal frame is constructed in arc-shaped sections, welded or bolted together, and topped with aluminum or wooden slats. This option is incredibly durable and low-maintenance.
- Recycled Plastic Lumber (HDPE): An eco-friendly choice that mimics wood but never splinters, rots, or requires staining. It is exceptionally durable in all climates.
- Concrete or Stone: For permanent, monumental installations. Precast concrete segments with a smooth or textured finish can be arranged around the tree, often with integrated lighting.
Manufacturing Process
1. Digital Templating: We create a precise digital template using your tree’s measurements. For irregular trunks, we may use a 3D scan to ensure a perfect fit.
2. Sectioning: The circle is divided into manageable sections (usually 4, 6, or 8 pieces) for ease of transport and installation around the tree trunk.
3. Assembly: Each section is pre-assembled and tested in our factory. Connecting hardware is designed for simple on-site assembly, requiring no heavy machinery.
4. Finish: All wood is treated with a high-quality UV protectant and water-repellent seal. Metal receives a premium powder coat in your choice of RAL color.
Installation and Support
We provide detailed installation guides and offer optional on-site assembly services. The bench sections are positioned around the tree, bolted together, and anchored into the ground using concealed footings that avoid damaging tree roots.
In short, if you need a durable, beautiful, and custom-engineered circular bench that safely embraces a tree, our factory is fully equipped to design, manufacture, and deliver exactly that. Simply provide your tree’s measurements and preferred material, and we will bring your vision to life.
