- Guide: Off-Season Care & Maintenance for Your Ethan Outdoor Furniture | Ethan Outdoor
Keep your Ethan furniture pristine through winter. Discover expert seasonal care tips to preserve beauty, comfort, and craftsmanship, year after year. Ethan Outdoor Furniture is crafted to endure the elements and stand the test of time. Whether it's a dining suite on the deck or a signature bench in the garden, a little seasonal care helps preserve the beauty and integrity of each piece. As the cooler months set in, follow our comprehensive guide below to care for your furniture properly and keep it looking its best year after year. Why Off-Season Care Matters Every Ethan piece is crafted from sustainably sourced Iroko hardwood - chosen for its natural resilience, rich grain, and ability to withstand New Zealand’s varied climate. While inherently durable, regular off-season care helps preserve both beauty and longevity. It’s about maintaining the comfort and integrity of your outdoor living investment. Step-by-Step: Caring for Your Ethan Furniture This guide is a practical overview. For detailed instructions on specific materials and finishes, please visit our Care & Maintenance page where you’ll find downloadable PDFs and product-specific guides. 1. Gather Essentials: Start by assembling your care kit: · Mild, eco-friendly soap (avoid harsh chemicals), or non-bleach-based cleaners such as Dryden's Surface Cleaner, Wet & Forget, or Hit the Deck · Soft brush or cloth · Low-pressure hose for rinsing · Oil or woodstain such as Dryden Wood Oil or Sikkens Cetol HLSe · Ethan’s custom protective covers · Fabric Guard reproofing spray 2. Pre-Clean Up: Sweep away leaves, dust, and any nests or cobwebs - particularly around joints and under cushions. This helps prevent wear and ensures your furniture is ready for cleaning, oiling, or staining. 3. Wash Furniture and Covers: Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to gently clean the timber. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely in open air. Take the opportunity to wash protective covers and fabric items too. 4. Re-Oil and Apply Woodstain: Once dry, lightly sand contact surfaces if needed to smooth out any rough patches. Then, apply your chosen oil or woodstain to protect the timber and enhance its natural beauty. 5. Add Protective Covers: Our covers , tailor-made with premium WeatherMAX 80 fabric, are purpose-built for durability, simple maintenance, and compact storage. Fitted to each Ethan piece, they protect against rain, dirt, UV rays, and dust, while allowing the timber to breathe naturally. 6. Store Cushions: Ensure all cushions and soft furnishings are clean and dry before storing them in a dry, ventilated space. Our handcrafted Ethan Storage Chest is the perfect solution for keeping seat cushions protected, dry, and within easy reach throughout the year. We also supply large duffle-style storage bags for covers, cushions, or other bulky items. Made from the same premium WeatherMAX fabric, they’re a practical and cost-effective way to keep everything clean, dry, and protected.

- Timeless Garden Benches: Designed for Home, Lodge, and Legacy | Ethan Outdoor
Discover the enduring beauty of handcrafted Ethan garden benches. Built to last, made to be remembered. As the days grow longer and summer draws closer, we naturally gravitate outdoors. Gardens, parks, and open spaces become the backdrop for gatherings, quiet reflection, and the shared rituals of outdoor living. At Ethan, our handcrafted garden benches have been designed to honour these moments — to bring comfort, beauty, and enduring strength to both private homes and public landscapes. Whether placed beneath a tree in a family garden, at the entrance to a lodge, or in a community park where many gather, Ethan’s Straight and Curved Benches are made to be lived with, admired, and trusted for generations. Handcrafted in New Zealand Every Ethan bench is built by hand in our Whanganui workshop, using time-honoured joinery and the finest Iroko hardwood. As a family-owned, second-generation business, craftsmanship is more than a process — it is our heritage. Each piece is carefully constructed with strength and proportion in mind, ensuring that an Ethan bench is not just furniture, but a fixture in the life of any space it inhabits. The Straight Garden Bench: Simple Elegance, Enduring Comfort The Straight Bench is our classic interpretation of the garden seat. Its shaped seat and angled backrest make it a pleasure to sit in, while the wide, flat arms serve both function and form — perfect for resting a glass or book. The mortise and tenon jointed slat back adds strength and timeless character, a detail that speaks to generations of fine woodworking tradition. Available in multiple sizes, from a compact two-seater to a generous five-seater, the Straight Bench adapts to gardens, courtyards, and communal areas alike. It is also a piece chosen often for memorials — a beautiful, lasting way to honour a life well-lived. Councils across New Zealand have chosen Ethan benches for their parks, cemeteries, and reserves, knowing they will stand the test of time in both strength and timeless style. Well-proven in commercial settings, the Straight Bench is a trusted choice for resorts, hotels, and public landscapes where durability and presentation matter. The Curved Garden Bench: Sculptural Beauty, Exceptional Craftsmanship The Curved Bench is perhaps one of the most technically challenging pieces we make. Its dual curve — both across the seat and along the back — requires precision, patience, and mastery of form. The result is a bench that is not only visually striking but exceptionally comfortable to sit in. The Premium model features laminated boards shaped to achieve that signature flow, while alternative versions provide flatter or upright seating options depending on need and context. Each version reflects the same Ethan values: comfort, strength, and beauty in balance. Curved Benches are often selected for hospitality spaces and grand gardens, where their sculptural presence enhances the design of the environment. They also sit beautifully at entrances, along pathways, or beside a tennis court or pool — quietly elevating every outdoor moment. One example is the handcrafted Curved Bench at Mangaturuturu Hut in Tongariro National Park , a dual World Heritage site. Positioned to capture sweeping alpine views of Mount Ruapehu, this bench was built to endure extreme conditions of snow and heat, providing comfort for trampers and honouring the history of the site. You can read the full story of this project here . Versatility Across Settings Ethan benches are created for both residential and commercial use. In the home: They offer a restful seat in the garden, a welcoming feature by an entrance, or a place of pause by a pool or tennis court. In commercial spaces: They are trusted by lodges, resorts, hotels, and golf courses across New Zealand and beyond. Well-proven in commercial settings, they provide both function and a sense of permanence. As memorials: With the option of custom brass or stainless engraved plaques, Ethan benches are chosen as commemorative pieces for parks and cemeteries, embodying respect and legacy. Across all settings, their handcrafted strength means they can be relied upon for decades. Tailored to Your Space Benches are available in a wide range of sizes — from compact seating to extended lengths that accommodate larger groups. Ethan also offers custom-made options, including extra-long benches for unique requirements. This flexibility ensures that no matter the setting, there is an Ethan bench designed to fit seamlessly. Designed to Endure Built from Iroko hardwood and finished with care, Ethan benches are designed to endure the elements while retaining their natural beauty. Over time, the timber weathers gracefully, telling its own story while remaining structurally sound. For those who wish to maintain a richer timber tone, care treatments are also available. A Bench for Generations An Ethan bench is not a seasonal purchase. It is an heirloom piece that becomes part of the landscape — whether in a family garden, a public reserve, or a grand lodge. It offers comfort and beauty today, and a legacy for tomorrow. Explore the Range · Straight Garden Bench · Curved Garden Bench · Straight Form Bench Each bench is handcrafted in New Zealand, and each is designed to last a lifetime outdoors. Speak to the Makers For over 40 years, Ethan has been handcrafting outdoor furniture here in New Zealand. As a second-generation, family-owned business, you are in safe hands when you speak with our team. Whether for your garden, lodge, or community space, we’d love to discuss how an Ethan bench can become part of your story. Timeless Garden Benches: Designed for Home, Lodge, and Legacy

Making an Informed Decision Measuring Your Space and Understanding Specs & Models At Ethan, we know that choosing the right outdoor setting is about more than aesthetics — it’s about functionality and fit. That’s why we provide detailed product diagrams on each Setting Page on our website, helping you visualise how much space your new table and seating arrangement will require. The Specs & Models section on each setting page includes precise dimensions, seating capacities, and optional extras, along with a helpful diagram to illustrate the required setting diameter. These resources ensure that you can confidently select the perfect setting for your outdoor space. Practical Considerations for the Perfect Round Outdoor Setting 1. Measuring Your Space - Aspects to Consider Clearance around the setting - Allow plenty of space between the back of the chair or bench and surrounding structures for ease of movement and thoroughfare room. The setting can often be positioned against one edge of the space rather than automatically in the centre. This allows more room along one edge where the main thoroughfare or access is required. Shape of the space - Round table settings work beautifully in square, rectangular, and circular spaces but may need extra consideration in narrow areas. Umbrella footprint - Ethan's umbrellas are designed to overhang the back of the benches and chairs, providing maximum shade and UV protection. Be mindful of roof eaves, house or courtyard walls, and trees when positioning your setting. Benches - Some of the benches can be pushed in under the table edge to create more walk-through (thoroughfare) space when the setting is not in use. 2. Choosing Between Benches and Chairs Curved Benches - Maximise seating capacity and create a cohesive, streamlined look. Individual Chairs - Provide flexibility and allow guests to easily move in and out of the setting. Mixed Seating - Combine both benches, chairs or triangle stools for a versatile, stylish, and comfortable arrangement. 3. Enhancing Your Setting with Accessories Enhance your dining experience with our selection of premium additions: Umbrella LED Lighting – Enjoy daytime shade and ambient evening light. Umbrella Internal Pulley Systems – Adjust your umbrella effortlessly. Sikkens Wood Stain Finish – Protects and enhances the natural beauty of Iroko hardwood. Seat, Back and Throw Cushions – Add comfort and a touch of personalised luxury. Lazy Susan – Effortless sharing, uninterrupted conversations—this indispensable piece allows guests to access refreshments with ease. Designed with Ethan's signature craftsmanship, it eliminates the need to pass hot or heavy dishes, fostering a relaxed dining experience. View the correct Lazy Susan size based on your chosen table setting. Triangle Stools – A distinctive and versatile addition to your setting, offering flexibility as additional seating, a low table, or a footstool. Designed to fit neatly between curved bench gaps, it is lightweight and easily movable for convenient access and adaptability in any outdoor space.

- A Handcrafted Curved Bench for a Stunning World Heritage Park Location | Ethan Outdoor
We are thrilled to showcase a beautifully handcrafted Curved Garden Bench designed for the Mangaturuturu Hut in Tongariro National Park. We are thrilled to share the story of our latest project – a beautifully handcrafted Curved Garden Bench designed for the Mangaturuturu Hut, perched on the scenic slopes of Mount Ruapehu in the breathtaking Tongariro National Park. Crafting Comfort Amidst Alpine Beauty This bench is more than just a piece of furniture; it’s a testament to craftsmanship and an enhancement to one of New Zealand's most treasured landscapes. Positioned to offer a stunning view of Mount Ruapehu, the bench provides a comfortable resting spot for weary trampers, allowing them to soak in the natural beauty of the park. The Perfect Choice for Harsh Environments The Ethan curved bench was an ideal choice for this alpine location. Built from premium hardwood and constructed with materials designed to endure the extreme conditions of snow and heat, it promises durability and longevity. The bench replaced an original stone seat that had been in place for many years but was starting to decay. The history of the old seat was honoured by using the original stones as the base for the new bench. A Generous Donation This beautiful bench was kindly donated by Brian Carter, an early member of the Whanganui Tramping Club. Established in 1952, the Club has grown to approximately 250 members and continues to foster a love for tramping and the great outdoors. Historical Roots and Recent Improvements The Mangaturuturu Hut, built around 1956 by Club members and officially opened in 1958, is a cherished site for many. It has seen numerous trampers pass through its doors and has undergone significant improvements in recent years to ensure it remains a welcoming shelter. Ethan Outdoor Furniture: Proudly Supporting New Zealand’s Parks Ethan Outdoor Furniture is proud to supply its Garden Benches to many regional parks in the Whanganui area and throughout New Zealand. Having one of our Curved Benches located in Tongariro National Park is a particular honor. As New Zealand’s oldest national park and a dual World Heritage area, Tongariro holds a special place in the hearts of many. A Legacy for Future Trampers We hope this bench will be enjoyed by many trampers for years to come, offering a place to rest and reflect amidst one of New Zealand's most beautiful settings. It stands as a symbol of the enduring connection between people and the natural world, providing comfort and a moment of respite in a place of unparalleled beauty. Thank you, Brian Carter, and the Whanganui Tramping Club, for your dedication and contributions to preserving and enhancing our natural heritage. Join us in celebrating this new addition to Tongariro National Park and plan your visit to experience it firsthand.

Outdoor Furniture Maintenance: Keep It Looking Its Best Ethan furniture is designed to thrive in New Zealand’s climate, combining beauty and durability. With a little care, your pieces will maintain their premium appearance and stand the test of time. Timber Surfaces Keep your furniture looking its best by wiping down timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. This simple care routine will preserve the natural beauty of the wood for years to come. Fabric Care Ethan’s customisable Sunbrella fabrics combine sophisticated style with durability, making them perfect for outdoor living. To keep them in top condition, clean any spills promptly using mild soap and water to prevent stains from setting. For long-term protection, use 303 Fabric Guard , a Sunbrella-recommended product that restores water and stain repellence to factory-new levels. This protective spray helps fabrics resist soiling while safeguarding against oil-based and water-based stains, all without altering the colour, breathability, or feel of the fabric. By caring for your furniture’s fabric and timber surfaces, you can ensure your Ethan pieces remain a standout feature of your outdoor space—ready to enhance your summer gatherings.
