The Courtyard Loveseat (Heavy Duty) is a commercial‑grade outdoor bench built for constant use in public spaces and only available in a black Heavy Duty frame for a clean, architectural look. Extra‑thick marine‑grade Starboard HDPE and 316 stainless steel hardware deliver serious structural strength with zero rot, rust, or peeling paint. An iconic DUX duck head finial crowns the design—an instant signal that you’re looking at top‑tier outdoor furniture, not a disposable imitation. When you see the duck head, you know you’re getting founder‑engineered comfort, proven durability, and a standard of outdoor quality that sets the bar for parks, campuses, and civic spaces. Thoughtful shaping and leg‑friendly front edges keep it genuinely comfortable for guests who sit for a moment—or an afternoon.

Performance: Heavy Duty build with Starboard HDPE that’s roughly one‑third thicker than standard for superior rigidity and impact resistance.
Materials: Color‑through, non‑porous, UV‑stable polymer and 316 stainless steel fasteners—no rot, rust, peeling paint, or delamination.
Comfort: Contoured seat with a front leg protector to eliminate pressure points for guests in shorts or workwear.
Joinery: Mortise‑and‑tenon construction and T‑slot arm connections for exceptional joint strength and straightforward maintenance.
Ideal use: Public parks, hospitality patios, campuses, streetscapes, municipal buildings, and other high‑traffic environments.

*Cup holder and wine glass holder are NOT available on this loveseat.

Details & Craftsmanship

The Courtyard Loveseat (Heavy Duty) is part of a collection specifically designed for public and commercial settings where furniture is expected to work hard every day. Instead of thin, hollow profiles or painted surfaces that chip and weather quickly, this loveseat uses marine‑grade Starboard HDPE that is significantly thicker than typical outdoor furniture stock. The added mass translates into rigidity under load, better impact resistance, and a substantial, permanent feel that suits architectural and civic spaces.

Color runs all the way through the material, not just on the surface, so scuffs and scrapes remain subtle rather than exposing a different substrate. The polymer is non‑porous and UV‑stable, which means it will not absorb moisture, swell, rot, or delaminate, even when exposed to rain, snow, or intense sun. Edges are milled smooth, eliminating the splinters and sharp corners commonly found on aging wood or low‑grade composites. Cleanup is as simple as rinsing or washing with mild soap—no painting, sealing, or seasonal refinishing.

Structurally, the loveseat uses traditional mortise‑and‑tenon concepts adapted to Starboard, paired with T‑slot grooves that lock armrests and structural components into place. This approach spreads loads across larger surfaces instead of relying solely on fasteners, improving long‑term joint stability in busy environments. All hardware is 316 stainless steel, chosen for performance in coastal, poolside, and de‑icing conditions where lesser metals would quickly stain or fail.

Comfort is treated as seriously as durability. The seat and back are shaped for supportive, everyday sitting, and a front leg‑protector detail softens the front edge so guests can sit in shorts, uniforms, or workwear without pressure points. Standard frame colors—black or charcoal gray—can be paired with solid slats or upgraded Timberline woodgrain slats in Mahogany, Weatherwood, Dark Ash, or Teak to match existing palettes or elevate the aesthetic of public spaces.

These Heavy Duty benches and seats are proven in real‑world use at the historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence, Virginia, where residents and visitors use them daily. Designed and built in Grayson County, Virginia, the Courtyard Loveseat reflects Appalachian craftsmanship, small‑town pride, and a commitment to furniture that earns its place in public life year after year.

Care and Maintenance:

Routine cleaning: Rinse with a hose, then wipe with mild soap and water. For tougher grime, use a non‑abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or soft nylon brush. Avoid excessive scrubbing pressure to preserve the matte finish.
Stain removal: For persistent stains, let a diluted bleach solution sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Citrus cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, or mineral spirits can help with grease and sunscreen; test in a small area first.
Scratch care: Light surface scuffs can often be minimized with automotive silicone spray or furniture polish; do not use on walking surfaces. Deep gouges are cosmetic and do not affect performance.
No refinishing required: Starboard ST is UV‑stabilized, color‑through material that won’t peel or flake, and it cannot be painted. Keep wood oils (e.g., teak oil) and wood stains away from the surface.
Hardware check: Rinse salt and pollen periodically. Inspect 316 stainless fasteners seasonally; tighten if needed.
Pressure washing: Safe when used at moderate pressure and distance; avoid aggressive tips held close to the surface.
Seasonal care: No storage or sealing required. If storing, keep pieces clean and dry, and avoid heat above 180°F.
General setup: Place on level surfaces to reduce uneven wear on rocker rails or feet. Lift to move—don’t drag across abrasive concrete.
