Big Mac Slabs designs and hand-builds residential furniture using sustainably sourced macrocarpa, a naturally durable New Zealand timber that performs in real outdoor conditions. From outdoor table settings and bench seats to swing seats and bar leaners, our furniture is built for wet decks, coastal air, BBQs, and bare feet.
Everything is made in our Paraparaumu workshop and delivered throughout New Zealand.
Looking for something custom? We can tailor sizes, layouts, and finishes to suit your space.
Whether you’re furnishing a backyard, reserve, hospitality venue, early childhood centre, or retirement village, our furniture is designed to be functional, durable, and unmistakably natural.
Our solid macrocarpa table settings are built for daily use and big gatherings, with options ranging from compact café style setups through to large family tables.
Park benches are not just for parks. They’re a simple, durable seating option for lawns, entrances, gardens, and shared outdoor areas at home.
Bench seats are the most versatile thing we build. Add them to a table setting, place them along a wall, or create flexible seating that can be moved around as needed.
If your backyard is built for hosting, bar furniture changes the whole space. We build solid macrocarpa bar leaners and bar packages designed to handle heavy use and outdoor conditions.
A swing seat is the kind of furniture that gets used every day. We build macrocarpa swing seats designed for stability, comfort, and long term outdoor performance.
You can also bring the same natural timber look indoors. We build interior pieces to suit kitchens, bathrooms, dining areas, and living spaces, with finishes selected to suit the environment and style of your home.
Macrocarpa is naturally suited to outdoor use in New Zealand, and we build our furniture with strength, stability, and repairability in mind. The goal is simple: furniture that can be maintained over time, not replaced.
What this means in practice:
Solid timber construction designed for real-world use
Protective coatings available to suit outdoor or indoor environments
Components that can be maintained and refreshed over the years
Outdoor furniture needs a finish that suits New Zealand’s UV, rain, and seasonal changes. Many of our outdoor pieces are available in a food safe, water based Elastocure coating, which provides around 2 years of protection from the sun before maintenance is required.
If you have a space to fit, a concept to refine, or a layout that needs a custom approach, our team can help. We regularly work from rough ideas, plans, and measurements to produce furniture that fits the environment it’s going into.

Like all outdoor timber furniture, periodic care helps preserve appearance and performance. Coated outdoor pieces often need recoating after extended UV exposure, depending on placement and use. We will provide guidelines for this depending on what furniture you are buying.
