Concrete Seats & Stools: Form, Function & Longevity
Concrete is the ideal material for outdoor furniture. It is naturally strong, stable, and bears strong resistance to harsh weather and wear and tear. Unlike timber or metal seating, precast concrete seats and stools won’t warp, rust, or deteriorate over time. They provide a low-maintenance, weatherproof option for all-season outdoor use, making them a reliable choice for designers and specifiers alike.
Anston concrete seats are meticulously designed to enrich spaces with their appearance while providing peace of mind to asset owners due to their longevity. Our catalogue range of design-ready concrete seating options is available in twelve beautiful colours, and is easily inserted into any new landscape project to provide a reliable solution for outdoor seating.
A wide variety of outdoor environments can benefit from the inclusion of Anston concrete seats, for example:
Public Parks and Playspaces / Urban Streetscapes and Pedestrian Zones / Educational Campuses and Schoolyards / Commercial Courtyards, Plazas and Rooftops / Residential Gardens and Multi-Residential Developments / Cultural, Civic and Community Spaces
Whether you’re designing a space for gathering, resting or simply adding visual interest to a landscaped area, consider architectural concrete seating for its lasting functionality and sculptural appeal.

Concrete Seats & Stools: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the colours available for concrete seats and stools?
Anston's catalogue range of concrete seats and stools is available to order in the 12 beautiful colours of our Mineral Range - a series of warm white, cool grey and deep charcoal colours with various stone aggregate options. View our full colour range here.
Custom colours or mix designs are available upon application, and will incur additional fees and lead times for production.
What types of finish options are available for concrete seats?
Anston's standard, most popular finish across our entire suite of concrete products is a shot-blasted finish, which highlights the beautiful, sensuous texture of concrete.
Customers can select from a light, medium or heavy level of shot-blasting. Light blasting results in a smoother texture and heavy blasting results in a rougher, grittier textured finish.
For products made using our EcoPebble, Ironstone or Mineral Range colours, a heavier level of blasting will reveal more of the stone aggregate in the mix.
Our range of concrete seats can also be produced in a smooth, off-mould/off-form finish. This finish is achieved when products are stripped out of the moulds with no further treatments applied to the surface. This creates a very industrial visual style and is most suited to large-format, flat edged products as opposed to curved products, due to the presence of visible seam lines from the moulds.
Straight edged, non-curved seating products can be further enhanced with a honed finish, where the surface of a shot-blasted product is ground to remove the roughness of the shot-blasted texture. This achieves a silky smooth finish that is pleasing to the touch.
Honed furniture products can be treated a step further to produce a polished finish, which uses finer grits to grind the surface, making it even smoother with a shiny, glossy appearance.
Anston's standard product pricing for catalogue concrete seats includes either an off-mould or shot-blasted finish. Additional fees apply for honing and polishing.
Can I add timber seat tops to Anston concrete seats?
Yes - timber seat tops can easily be incorporated into Anston's catalogue range of concrete seating options. Installers can add timber seat tops by bolting the timber slats or steel framing directly into the top concrete surface.
Anston's catalogue seating options are designed to be at a comfortable seat height. If customers are including timber seat tops onto our catalogue furniture, which can add another 30-100mm in height, it is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the installation level is adjusted accordingly to satisfy building regulations for seat height.
Timber seat tops are not offered by Anston directly. If required, our team can provide recommendations on suppliers of timber seat tops.
How long will it take to receive my order?
All Anston products are made to order, requiring a minimum lead time for production. If you do not have a trading account with Anston, we will not be able to commence production of your order until we receive a deposit payment.
Once the order is confirmed and deposit payment received, the standard production lead time for catalogue concrete seating ranges from 4-8 weeks. However, this lead time may be impacted by other factors such as order volume, existing work log and delivery location. If you wish to order a custom colour or mix design, this will extend the lead time further due to the iterative sampling process to establish the desired colour.
To ensure accurate lead times, please confirm with your Anston representative at the time of enquiry.
