Great question! You’re not the only one wondering about this, whether you’re sprucing up a backyard, a community park, or a commercial property. The short answer is: Yes, we do offer installation services for many of our park benches—but the details depend on the type of bench, your location, and the complexity of the setup.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Installation Services We Provide
For most standard park benches (e.g., steel-frame or recycled plastic models with pre-drilled holes), we can coordinate professional installation through our trusted network of local contractors. This typically includes:
- Unboxing and checking parts
- Assembling the bench frame and seating slats
- Anchoring the bench to concrete or asphalt (using included hardware)
- Leveling and final adjustments
We do not offer in-house installation crews who travel nationwide, but we’ve partnered with reliable installers in many regions. If you’re purchasing multiple benches for a commercial space, we can also provide a bulk installation quote.
2. When You Might Need to Hire Out
For custom or very heavy-duty benches (e.g., powder-coated steel with complex base designs), or if you live in a rural area without a local installer in our network, we recommend hiring a general contractor, landscape architect, or handyman. You can:
- Ask us for a list of recommended local providers (we’re happy to share).
- Use a platform like TaskRabbit or Thumbtack to find a licensed installer.
- Look for a local fence or deck company—they often have experience with anchoring concrete.
3. DIY Installation is Also an Option
If you’re handy, most of our benches come with detailed assembly instructions and hardware. You’ll need a drill, level, socket wrench, and concrete anchors (if mounting to a solid surface). We can send you a PDF guide before ordering so you can see what’s involved.
4. Things to Verify Before Ordering
- Location preparation: We install on a flat, solid surface (concrete, pavers, or compacted gravel). If you need ground excavation or concrete pouring first, that’s separate.
- Local codes: Some municipal parks require permits or specific anchoring depths. Your installer should be aware of these—or you can check with your local parks department.
- Warranty impact: If you install the bench yourself, you still have the manufacturer warranty on parts. But if something goes wrong with the installation (e.g., uneven anchoring), the warranty doesn’t cover that.
Bottom line:
Let us know which bench you’re eyeing and your shipping zip code. We’ll check if we can line up a local installer for you. If not, we’ll give you clear instructions for hiring someone—or tackling it yourself. Just reply to your order confirmation or call our customer service team. We’re here to help make sure your bench is safe, level, and ready to enjoy for years.
