Oxford Planters is a family-owned and run company creating exceptional bespoke luxury garden furniture and planters. From our workshop, our skilled team of joiners combine time-honoured craftsmanship with considered design to create enduring pieces for gardens, estates and architectural landscapes.
Since 2007, we have worked with Accoya®, an advanced modified timber renowned for its exceptional stability, durability and performance in demanding outdoor environments. Its remarkable resistance to rot and movement makes it an ideal material for creating long-lasting outdoor pieces.
Accoya’s unique acetylation process enhances the natural properties of the timber, allowing us to create refined finishes while maintaining outstanding durability. We guarantee every piece made from Accoya for fifty years above ground and twenty-five years in ground or freshwater environments.
The stability of Accoya provides an exceptional foundation for our bespoke finishes.

Early Pioneers in Accoya® Timber
Oxford Planters played a pioneering role in the early development of Accoya® timber, working with Accsys Technologies during its trial phase before the material became commercially available.
Our collaboration helped us develop a deep understanding of this innovative timber and its potential for high-quality outdoor applications. Since then, we have continued to refine our approach, incorporating Accoya® into bespoke planters, garden furniture and architectural joinery.
Accoya’s exceptional stability, durability and resistance to movement make it an outstanding choice for exterior pieces where precision craftsmanship and long-term performance are essential. Our many years of experience working with this advanced timber allow us to prepare, finish and incorporate it into bespoke designs with confidence.
Combined with traditional joinery techniques and considered design, Accoya® enables us to create outdoor commissions that deliver exceptional performance while maintaining the refined appearance and craftsmanship expected from Oxford Planters.
