Absolutely, we do offer benches with mesh or slatted designs specifically engineered to allow rainwater to drain through. In fact, these are some of our most popular options for outdoor spaces because they solve a very practical problem: nobody wants to sit on a puddle after a sudden downpour.
Our slatted bench series features parallel wooden or metal planks spaced about half an inch apart. This gap is wide enough to let water pass through freely, yet narrow enough to keep small items like keys or a phone from slipping. We use sustainably sourced cedar and pressure-treated pine for the wood models, both of which naturally resist rot and warping from repeated wetting.
If you prefer a modern aesthetic, our mesh benches are built with a perforated steel or aluminum grid. The tiny holes (typically 3/16 inch in diameter) provide excellent drainage while maintaining a sleek, industrial look. The metal is powder-coated with a UV-resistant finish, so it won’t rust or fade even in heavy rain.
Both designs share a key advantage: they dry quickly. After a rain shower, a solid bench might stay wet for hours, but a slatted or mesh seat will be dry to the touch in about 15 to 20 minutes. This makes them ideal for parks, poolside areas, bus stops, or any uncovered patio.
We also offer customization. You can choose the gap width on slatted benches (from ¼ inch to 1 inch), or the mesh density on metal models. All frames come with a 5-year warranty against weather damage. Just let us know your specific climate conditions—if you deal with heavy snowfall, we can reinforce the base structure to handle extra weight without compromising drainage.
