Article title:Your Urban Bench Welding Warranty – What’s Covered and for How Long?
Article content:
When you invest in our urban benches for public spaces, you want assurance that every weld will hold up to weather, weight, and heavy daily use. So let me give you a clear, plain-English answer about the warranty on our bench welding.
We provide a 5-year workmanship and materials warranty specifically covering all welded joints on our standard urban bench models. This means that if a weld cracks, separates, or shows signs of structural failure due to manufacturing defects (not from misuse or vandalism), we will repair or replace the affected bench component at no cost to you — including the labor for welding rework if it’s a field repair.
What exactly does the warranty cover?
- Any weld failure caused by poor fusion, porosity (tiny air holes in the weld), or improper heat treatment during production.
- Cracking around the joint that happens under normal public seating loads (up to the bench’s rated weight capacity of 500 lbs per section).
- Rust starting inside the weld area that leads to structural weakness, provided you have performed basic yearly maintenance as recommended in our care guide.
What’s NOT covered?
- Damage from deliberate misuse, such as someone jumping on the bench or using it as a work platform.
- Welds that were field-modified after delivery without our approval.
- Cosmetic discoloration of the weld bead that does not affect structural integrity (the weld zone may heat-tint slightly — that's normal).
How do we back up this warranty?
We use certified welders and robotic MIG welding with ER70S-6 filler wire on steel benches, or 5356 wire on aluminum models. Each production weld is visually inspected and 10% of each batch get a dye-penetrant test to check for hidden surface cracks. The warranty is valid for both powder-coated and galvanized finishes.
If you ever need to make a warranty claim:
1. Take two photos of the affected weld — one close-up and one showing the whole bench.
2. Email them to our support team with your order number and a brief description.
3. We’ll review within 3 business days and ship replacement parts or schedule a welder visit if you’re within our service area.
For high-traffic urban installations (parks, transit stops, shopping plazas), we also offer an optional 10-year extended weld warranty for an extra 8% on the purchase price — this covers accidental overloading up to 150% of rated capacity. Just ask our sales team for a quote on that.
So in short: you get a solid 5-year weld guarantee that’s free from fine-print tricks. Our welds are meant to outlast the bench itself.
