Farmhouse decor isn’t just for interior decorating. You can take your interior farmhouse style and move it outdoors by adding one of these ten rustic farmhouse benches to your backyard. We have included all types of farmhouse benches on this ultimate list, including farmhouse benches with backs and space for more than one person.

Without further ado, here are ten rustic farmhouse benches you should add to your backyard.

1. Cabbage Hill Garden Bench

The Cabbage Hill Garden Bench made by Wood Country is a sturdy, rustic farmhouse bench that comes in 4-foot or 5-foot options, and you can get it stained or unstained.

• The 4-foot option measures 33″ tall x 25″ deep x 53.5″ wide with an 18″ deep x 48″ wide inside seat
• The 5-foot option measures 33″ tall x 25″ deep x 63.5″ wide with an 18″ deep x 60″ wide inside seat
• Both the 4-foot and 5-foot options have a weight capacity of 500 pounds

The solid wood bench is made of western red cedar, so it is rot-resistant and will stand up to the elements. Each slat on the back of the bench is 2” thick and glued in place, supporting you while sitting. It is the perfect rustic wood bench for your backyard.

2. Timberland Garden Bench

The Timberland Garden Bench is the perfect rustic bench for your backyard because it comes in 4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot options. You can choose as big or small a farmhouse bench as you need for your backyard. The weight capacity of the 4-foot option is 500 pounds, while the 5-foot and 6-foot options are 600 pounds. 

It uses locust, a rot-resistant and durable hardwood, and wood screws perfect for backyard benches, and you can choose between an unfinished or a stained finish, both of which let the natural knots come through.

We like the Timberland Garden Bench for a rustic bench for your backyard because of the live edges of the bench and clean lines. It truly gives your backyard a rustic farmhouse feel.

3. Western Red Cedar Fanback Garden Bench

The Western Red Cedar Fanback Garden Bench by A & L Furniture has a variety of stains to choose from, which is one of our favorite things about this rustic farmhouse bench. There are eight different stain options to choose from to match the color and decor of your entryway or outdoor dining room. You can also keep it unfinished.

It comes in 4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot options. The 4-foot option has a weight capacity of 400 pounds, and the 5-foot and 6-foot options are 500 pounds. It is western red cedar, so it is durable, dense, and rot-resistant.

4. USA Weatherly Backless Picnic Bench

The USA Weatherly Backless Picnic Bench is by Highwood and provides the perfect rustic farmhouse feel to your backyard. This bench is made of marine-grade lumber and looks identical to real wood. You get the look and feel of a rustic farmhouse bench without the hassle of maintaining a real hardwood bench.

There are 11 different wood colors to choose from, including black and white and common farmhouse colors. Instead of staining the bench each year, simply wash the bench, and it’s good to go. There is virtually no maintenance required for this bench, yet you still get the rustic look you’re going for.

There is a 4-foot option and a 5-foot option to choose from.

5. Treated Pine English Garden Bench

Creekvine Designs makes a variety of quality pieces of furniture, and this Treated Pine English Garden Bench is great if you're looking for extra seating. In fact, for a rustic farmhouse bench, it’s one of the best you can choose.

There is a 53” option, a 64” option, and a 76” option to choose from so that you can get the exact size you need for your backyard. It has a high back and armrests, making it a comfortable extra seating option for your backyard.

6. Red Cedar Chickadee Backed Bench

This rustic farmhouse bench is our favorite on our list. We like it because it resembles a church pew. People usually use church pews as interior farmhouse decor, but you can't use them outside because they cannot withstand the elements. But not this option! This Red Cedar Chickadee Backed Bench is Western Red Cedar and can be stained or unfinished if you want to tackle a DIY project and paint it.

It also comes in 5 different lengths. There is a 32-inch, 46-inch, 58-inch, 70-inch, and 94-inch option, giving you a variety of lengths to choose from.

7. 5’ Cedar 1805 Traditional Heavy Duty Backless Bench

We love the way this bench from Creekvine Designs looks. It is a strong, heavy-duty backless bench with a modern farmhouse feel. It is Western Red Cedar, so it withstands the elements of the outdoors. You can choose between an unfinished or a stained finish.

It only comes in one length, which is 5-feet long, so if you want a longer or shorter bench, you won’t get that option with this modern farmhouse bench. It only comes in a standard 5-foot length.

8. Teak Sahara 2-Seater Bench

The Teak Sahara 2-Seater Bench is Anderson Teak, and it has a perfect, rustic farmhouse feel that you should add to your backyard.

The bench is made of A-grade solid Teak wood and has a curved back that conforms to your back for ultimate comfort. Leave the seat uncovered or add one of the many colors of cushions available.

It is a 2-seater bench that is 47” wide and has a weight capacity of 500 pounds.

9. Classic Bench

This option by Anderson Teak is a 3-seater made from teak wood and has a straight back. You can choose to leave the seat uncovered or add one of the many colors of cushions that are available to choose from.

The bench is 59 inches wide and has a solid weight capacity of 700 pounds. The teak wood is rot-resistant, so it will last outside in the elements without deteriorating.

10. Marlborough 3-Seater Bench

We wanted to include a bench on our list with an intricate design. Not all farmhouse benches have sleek lines. Some of them have designs on the back like this option by Anderson Teak. We like the design of the back and the rounded armrests.

It is a 3-seater bench that measures 78 inches wide with a weight capacity of 700 pounds. It’s A-grade solid Teak wood, which can withstand rain and sunshine. Like the two options above, you can choose to leave the seat uncovered or add a cushion.

Anderson Teak includes a 2-year warranty on all of its products.
