You really need a hardwood bench for good stability and durability. Avoid
tropical hardwoods if you can, http://www.coedcymru.mid-wales.net/ can point
you to good British suppliers.

I'd like a short (about 1m long) wooden bench for my garden. I've seen
very cheap pine offerings and expensive naughty hardwoods. Will money
buy me resistance to rote, mould, etc?

Is there a really good "treatment" that will prevent rot? A lot of these
seem to be for rough sawn timber only.

Thanks!
