URBAN BENCHES

Wondering how to attach a garden bench to a concrete slab without drilling? You're in luck. Several effective methods provide stability without the permanence or effort of drilling into concrete. First, consider using a high-strength construction adhesive like a polyurethane-based glue or epoxy. Thoroughly clean both the concrete surface and the bench legs, apply the adhesive as directed, and use temporary supports while it cures completely. This creates a powerful, semi-permanent bond. For a non-permanent solution, a weighted base is ideal. You can build a plinth or platform from heavy materials like stone or filled concrete blocks, then secure the bench to this base using standard fasteners. The weight anchors everything in place. Alternatively, explore freestanding weighted bench designs that use integrated ballast. For lighter benches, high-quality outdoor-rated velcro or heavy-duty adhesive tapes can work, though they are best for low-wind areas and temporary setups. Finally, friction-based pads or rubberized mats can prevent sliding, especially when combined with the bench's own weight. Whichever method you choose, ensure the concrete is clean, level, and dry for the best results. This allows you to enjoy a stable, rattle-free seating area on your patio without a single drill hole.
