The Courtyard Bench (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. Comfortable shaping and leg‑friendly front edges make it a seat people actually enjoy using, whether they’re waiting, resting, or gathering.

Performance: Heavy Duty construction with Starboard HDPE roughly one‑third thicker than standard for superior rigidity and impact resistance.
Materials: Color‑through, non‑porous, UV‑stable polymer and 316 stainless fasteners—no rot, rust, warping, or delamination.
Comfort: Contoured seat with a front leg protector to eliminate pressure points for guests in shorts, uniforms, or workwear.
Joinery: Mortise‑and‑tenon style connections and T‑slot arm interfaces for exceptional joint strength and straightforward maintenance.
Ideal use: Parks, hospitality patios, campuses, shopping districts, civic buildings, and other high‑traffic sites.
*Cup holder and wine glass holder are NOT available on this bench.

Details & Craftsmanship

The Courtyard Bench (Heavy Duty) is part of a collection specifically engineered for public environments where furniture is used hard, every day. Instead of relying on thin profiles or painted finishes, the bench is built from marine‑grade Starboard HDPE that is significantly thicker than typical outdoor furniture stock. The added material thickness gives the bench a solid, grounded feel and helps it resist impacts, flexing, and long‑term fatigue.

Because the color runs through the entire material rather than sitting on the surface, scuffs and scrapes remain far less noticeable, and there is no paint to chip or flake. The non‑porous, UV‑stable polymer will not absorb moisture, swell, rot, or delaminate in sun, rain, snow, or coastal air. All exposed edges are milled smooth, eliminating splinters and sharp corners that can plague aging wood or low‑grade composites. Routine care is minimal: a rinse or wash with mild soap keeps the bench looking ready for use without any painting, sealing, or seasonal refinishing.

Under the surface, the frame uses mortise‑and‑tenon concepts and T‑slot grooves that lock arms and structural members into place, spreading loads across larger surfaces rather than depending solely on screws. This approach improves long‑term joint stability in high‑traffic environments. Hardware is 316 marine‑grade stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in coastal, chlorinated, or de‑icing conditions where standard metals quickly stain or fail.

Ergonomically, the Courtyard Bench is shaped for real‑world comfort. The seat and back are contoured to support everyday sitting, from brief rests to longer conversations. A front leg‑protector softens the leading edge where thighs and knees meet the seat, making it comfortable for guests in shorts or workwear. Standard frame colors—black or charcoal gray—combine with solid or Timberline woodgrain slats in Mahogany, Weatherwood, Dark Ash, or Teak to fit everything from historic courthouses to modern campus quads.

These Heavy Duty benches and seats are proven in daily use outside the historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence, Virginia, where locals and visitors rely on them every day. Designed and built in Grayson County, Virginia, the Courtyard Bench reflects Appalachian craftsmanship and a commitment to public‑space furniture that earns its place 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.
