Garden Seat And Kneeler Review

If you’re planning to spend time working in your yard, a garden seat and kneeler is a must-have tool! This is because it can help make yard maintenance a lot easier on your body. We recently bought a garden kneeling bench from Garrett Wade Tools. In this video, we’ll share our thoughts about this garden tool from Garrett Wade!

This simple mini-bench with soft pads can be placed in two ways - either as a bench to sit on as for such tasks as deadheading or light pruning, or set as a kneeler with grab rails to assist with both lowering yourself to the knee pad platform or for helping yourself up when it’s time to move to a new spot.

At the time of filming, the bench price was $29.95, but with $12 shipping in the United States, the total investment was about $44. That’s a bit more than we wanted to pay, but as this is used ongoing, we believe the initial price will become less important.

The kneeling and seat pads (affixed on both sides of the same platform and made of the same material) are thick enough to do the job. The included repositionable canvas tool pouch is a nice touch and will come in handy for having gloves and pruner at the ready.

The metal tubing is moderate gauge and the latching mechanism is simple and effective and allows you to store the unit with the legs folded in to conserve space and to make it easy to hang on a wall.

We like that the unit is lightweight enough that it’s easy to handle. The unit can be used for inside tasks as well, such as light electrical work, washing or painting baseboards, and other household duties.

What we don’t like? When this unit is used as a bench outside on soft soil, it sinks in the soil unevenly and many times takes some repositioning to get it to be stable. However, this is more of an inconvenience than a fatal flaw.

At the time of filming, the active link to their website was https://www.garrettwade.com/portable-bench-kneeler-1.html?SCID=W4011000&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtsv7BRCmARIsANu-CQdgxGaS5xakhyDeH5w9n6gZ0ya5VModS0DVxcGTXFko-HtZqaOW2q4aAm0SEALw_wcB.

These kinds of tools and aids really can help you “up” your gardening and landscape game and make it all that much easier to JUST DO IT YOURSELF!
