A bench is a must for every outdoor space: it’s a durable and comfy seat that may be used for several purposes. We’ve already shared some tutorials for outdoor storage benches, and today I’d like to present some more ideas but this time these are planter benches.
A planter bench is a two in one, it allows to enliven the space a little bit and feel more outside due to the greenery and flowers growing right here. It saves your space and even if you don’t have other pots and planters, it’s ok.
This beautiful outdoor cedar bench is an amazing idea to realize, the boxes are done on the sides of the bench so that you could seat comfortably. These aren’t planters, these are boxes to place any pots inside, and the boxes are rather big but you can measure your pots and make them accordingly.

This planter box bench will offer you additional comfort due to the cushions on it. Simply adjust the space between each slat to adjust the depth of the bench itself. An extra slat can be added or one taken away if the space becomes to much or too little.
