When it comes to achieving your ideal outdoor living space, an enduringly beautiful deck is just the beginning. Once you’ve locked in your foundation, you’ll also want to think about one of the most important components when it comes to enjoying your outdoor escape: seating. Your options will break down into two categories: temporary seating and permanent. If you want to take your deck design to the next level, permanent seating may be the option for you. You need inspiring deck bench ideas.
Choosing built-in deck benches crafted from TimberTech® composite decking means you bring the promise of Better Tech, Better Deck™ to a critical design element. It also means you enjoy benefits like:
- Enhanced design
- Better long-term value
- Superior performance
Grab a seat and let’s get into all three.
Why Choose Built-In Deck Benches
If you choose a TimberTech deck, you choose an outdoor living space crafted from material that’s unrivaled in the industry. You’ve invested your time, funds, and care into a space you and your family can enjoy for years to come. Why shouldn’t your outdoor seating perform at the same level?

Deck Bench Ideas for an Inviting Outdoor Space
Still need deck bench ideas to help you visualize your ideal backyard build, but not sure where to start? Begin by asking yourself these questions:
- What is my preferred aesthetic?
- Am I eclectic and modern?
- Am I more traditional?
- What are the right deck bench ideas for my type of deck?
- For a rooftop deck, consider adding built-in benches to a dividing wall (pictured below).
- For a smaller deck, consider doubling the function of your benches by anchoring them with planters (pictured below).
Eclectic & Modern
If you want truly statement-making deck bench ideas that capture unique-chic design, go with Multi-Width Decking and curved built-in benches.
Heat-Bent for Cool Curves
The TimberTech® AZEK® Vintage Collection® comes in three different widths — narrow (3.5”), standard (5.5”), and wide (7.25”) — and can be heat-bent into gently winding benches.
Choose the nature-inspired boards from the Vintage Collection as the seat of your built-in benches to stay ahead of the design curve.
Traditional
If you prefer traditionally right-angled benches, we also have deck bench ideas for you.
Classic, With a Twist
For a smaller deck, consider bringing dimension to your space with elements like benches, railing, or planters will draw the eye outward and up. But then again, why not have your cake and eat it, too?
Cozy Built-Ins
Have a rooftop deck? Double the functionality — while still showcasing your design savvy — with permanent benches built into a privacy wall.
