Built to last: Nordic outdoor furniture that withstands the elements
When you invest in outdoor furniture, you want peace of mind that it can handle more than just the British summer. Whether it’s for pub gardens, school playgrounds, workplace courtyards or motorway rest stops, your furniture needs to survive year-round use – through rain, frost, wind and even the odd heatwave.
That’s why AJ Products offers a carefully selected range of Nordic outdoor furniture - designed and tested to thrive in the toughest weather conditions. Inspired by the demands of the Swedish climate, our benches and picnic tables combine durability, comfort and timeless style.
Nordic furniture, proven in the wild
To demonstrate just how durable our Nordic outdoor bench really is, we decided to put it to the ultimate test. We sent one of our compact picnic benches to Iceland where, for a whole year, it’s facing storms, snow, salty winds and unpredictable sun on the Atlantic coast.
Why Iceland? Because if our Nordic garden furniture can survive there, it can certainly survive in the UK. With minimal maintenance, our furniture will serve your outdoor space for years to come - no matter the season.
THE TOUGHEST TEST!
Watch how our picnic bench stands up to the harsh conditions of the Icelandic coast.
It takes consistently high quality
What does it take to make an outdoor bench that can withstand harsh weather conditions? In our view, it is about a robust construction and materials chosen with care. We chose hot-dip galvanised steel for our metal frame, while the wooden details are made of durable planks of Swedish pine with a stained finish. The result is a quality piece of furniture with a finish that is both pleasing to the eye and highly resistant to weather exposure so it can be left outside come rain or shine, in summer or winter.Follow the reports from Iceland
The picnic bench was placed in its current position in February 2021. At a follow-up in mid-March, things were going well and our bench was seeing some pretty good weather. Since then, the news from Iceland has been full of reports of earthquakes and volcanic activity. Do you want to find out what’s happening to our little picnic bench in the North Atlantic? We will be providing regular updates both here and on social media as we follow the bench on its yearlong adventure. Feel free to follow us!
A summer greeting
At the end of June we visited the Icelandic coast southwest of Reykjavik to see how our picnic bench was getting on. After just over four months of snow, rain, salty winds and sun, it still looked like new - just as we thought. We will check back again after the summer.
