Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
A built-in cedar or teak corner banquette that maximizes dead corner space while concealing large storage compartments beneath the seat lids.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Construct or assemble an L-shaped corner bench (18-inch seat height, 20-inch depth) flush into the patio corner.
-
Fit the bench tops with hinged lift-up lids on hydraulic soft-close struts.
-
Line the interior storage cavities with waterproof vinyl liners to keep outdoor cushions and gardening tools dry.
-
Top with custom 3-inch high-density foam cushions covered in weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric.
-
Place a small 16-inch round ceramic drum table in front as a drink perch.

Pro Styling Tip
Building directly into the corner captures seating for up to four people using zero center-floor walkway space.
