Seat Walls

Overview

Built-in seating that defines the space.

Schedule a Discovery Consultation

Want extra seating for your next gathering without crowding your patio with chairs? A seat wall frames your space and gives your guests a place to sit. Around a fire pit, it turns a gathering spot into a destination.

We build your seat wall at a comfortable sitting height with a cap wide enough to actually sit on, a detail many builders miss.
