Bench Seating & Planters are a beautiful and functional addition to any custom outdoor space. At McMorris Decks & Structures, we design and build integrated seating and planters that elevate both comfort and curb appeal. Whether you’re expanding your deck or creating a cozy corner, our bench seating and planter boxes bring character and convenience to your backyard.
Enhance Your Deck With Built-In Beauty
We believe the best outdoor living spaces are the ones that invite people to relax and linger. Built-in bench seating and planters do exactly that. They create permanent, low-maintenance features that blend seamlessly into your overall design—no shifting patio furniture or cluttered flower pots required.
Our custom-built seating is more than just functional. It’s designed to:
- Maximize space without crowding walkways
- Add storage with under-bench compartments (optional)
- Create visual flow with your deck or pergola
- Encourage conversation areas with L-shape or circular seating
Integrated planters let you bring nature right into your gathering space. Whether you prefer colorful annuals, evergreen shrubs, or even culinary herbs, these built-ins provide the perfect showcase while keeping your deck clean and organized.
Designed for Comfort, Built to Last
Every element we build at McMorris Decks & Structures is made to match your lifestyle and Utah’s climate. Our bench seating and planters are custom-built using high-quality materials that resist moisture, fading, and structural wear—so they’ll look great year after year.
We commonly build with:
| Material | Durability | Maintenance | Popular Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treated Lumber | High | Occasional sealing | Rustic and classic styles |
| Cedar or Redwood | Natural resistance | Low | Warm-toned natural look |
| Composite | Very High | Minimal | Seamless with composite decks |
| Metal Accents | Weather-resistant | Very Low | Modern and industrial flair |
We also consider comfort details like backrests, ergonomic angles, and soft-edge finishing to make your bench seating enjoyable for hours of relaxation or conversation.
Seamless Integration With Your Outdoor Features
Because our bench seating and planters are designed in-house, we can ensure they match your existing or future structures perfectly. Whether it’s part of a new custom deck or complementing your pergola or gazebo, everything flows together with purpose and precision.
Our team works closely with you during the design phase to align:
- Height and depth of seating with deck levels
- Location of planters for best sun exposure
- Sightlines to views, landscaping, and other structures
- Complementary finishes for timber, composite, or railing materials
We can also incorporate seating and planters into your custom timber frame, or build them to align with multi-level stairs, walkways, and railing.
Add Functionality to Any Outdoor Layout
Bench seating and planters aren’t just for large backyard decks. We’ve built compact corner benches for townhouse patios, privacy-screened seating for reading nooks, and even curved benches that surround a spa or in-deck hot tub.
These features are ideal for:
- Fire pit surrounds
- Deck borders and rail transitions
- Outdoor dining and hosting areas
- Framing the edge of pole barns or outbuildings
- Creating garden zones or edible landscapes
If privacy is a concern, we can combine benches with privacy walls to carve out quiet, intimate zones without sacrificing style.
