That's an excellent question! The end panels, often called the legs or supports, are crucial for both the look and longevity of our benches. Typically, our wooden bench end panels are crafted from solid hardwood. We primarily use weather-resistant species like kiln-dried cedar, white oak, or teak. These woods are chosen for their natural density and ability to withstand the elements, preventing warping or rot over time. The panels are cut from thick stock for substantial strength and feature sturdy joinery—like mortise and tenon or double dowel joints—where they meet the seat. This ensures the bench remains rigid and stable. For a finished look, the panels are sanded smooth and can be left natural to weather gracefully or sealed with a protective outdoor oil. So, in short: durable, solid hardwood, built to last.
