The finished Rustic Seat, with oak posts supporting an asymmetrical thatched roof.

The tree trunks, earth floor and the plaster aggregates for the recreated Rustic Seat building all came from Hestercombe. The plaster was finished with gravel spar from the stream opposite, and the simple bench inside was made from planks of sweet chestnut supplied by Philip White. Along with the Chinese Seat and Octagon Summerhouse, the Rustic Seat was officially opened on 30 June 2008.
