What are the benefits of a plastic garden bench?

Benefit 1: Wood appearance, properties of plastic
Plastic, but with the looks of wood. Beneficial is that it only has the looks of wood, which makes it low-maintenance. Besides that, it is resistant to moulds and insects, it does not splinter and there won’t be any resin.

Benefit 2: Plastic is a low-maintenance material
After a summertime gale, where sand has splashed right up against your plastic garden bench, it can easily be cleaned with some lukewarm water. When it is a bit more difficult to clean, add some all-purpose cleaner to the water. In this way, your plastic garden bench is clean in no-time. When your garden bench has been outside all winter and it can use a proper clean-up, you can use HG plastic cleaner for example. A good remedy to clean your plastic furniture with. However, storing you garden bench indoors when it is not being used, is even better. It doesn’t matter how well you look after your garden bench, they never get better when they spend a whole winter outside. We therefore advise you to store your garden bench indoors when this is possible.

What do you have to take into account when you buy plastic garden furniture?
The disadvantage of a plastic garden bench is that it can discolour when it is placed in the sunshine and it can warp slightly. Especially with the heat that we have had the past few years, it is something to take into account. Besides that, it can scratch or break when it comes into contact with hard materials and, due to the prism effect, glass can make the plastic so hot that it can leave burn marks. But to be fair; the heat that we have had the past few years can cause burn marks in more materials.
