Cor-Ten Logstore Bench

Seating for when everyone comes round, and somewhere dry for the logs the rest of the time. Pull it up to the fire pit or woodburner and the evening goes on longer.

The top is stainless steel: clean to sit on, no rust marks on your clothes, and it keeps the logs underneath dry. The body is Cor-Ten, made here in Somerset, weathering to its own protective finish and then needing nothing from you. No oiling, no covers, no winter routine.

At 90cm long it's comfortable for two and cosy for three. One either side of the fire pit and the whole table has a seat.

Backed by our 20 year warranty.

Cor-Ten is weathering steel. Over the first few months outdoors it develops a rust-coloured patina — that isn't damage, it's the steel protecting itself. Once it forms, it seals the surface and stops corrosion going any deeper.

So the short answer is: leave it alone. No painting, no treatment, no oiling.

Early days. It arrives pre-weathered, and the colour keeps deepening over the first few months, especially after rain. Uneven at first, then it settles into an even rust-brown.

Run-off. While the patina settles, rain can carry rust-coloured run-off onto whatever's underneath. On light stone, stand it on gravel or a dark slab, or use a base. Once it's settled, run-off stops.

Covers. Not needed. If you'd rather keep it tidier between uses, a cover won't hurt.

Lifespan. With no intervention at all, expect 25+ years.

Every Outdoor Living piece comes with our 20 year warranty.
