When planning to mix and match different styles of outdoor benches, the pricing structure typically follows several key factors. Most manufacturers and suppliers calculate costs based on the individual bench prices, then apply configuration adjustments. The base price starts with your selection of different bench styles - whether you're combining modern metal designs with classic wooden benches or creating a custom layout with various materials.
Manufacturers often provide per-unit pricing for each bench style you select. If you're ordering multiple units of the same style, quantity discounts usually apply. The complexity comes when creating custom configurations - connecting different bench styles might require special adapters or mounting hardware, which can add to the overall cost. Many suppliers offer design services to help you visualize and price your mixed-style layout before ordering.
Material selection significantly impacts pricing. Combining premium materials like teak wood with powder-coated steel will naturally cost more than mixing standard polyethylene with aluminum frames. Consider that maintenance costs may vary across different materials in your mixed configuration. Most reputable suppliers provide detailed quotes that break down costs per bench style, any additional hardware needed for integration, and potential volume discounts. Always request a comprehensive quote that includes delivery and installation if needed, as these services might be calculated differently when dealing with mixed product orders.
