Great question! When it comes to installing park benches, one of the most common concerns is stability and safety—especially in public spaces or high-traffic areas. Here’s the straightforward answer:
Most of our park benches do not include a ground anchor kit in the box. Why? Because different installations call for different anchoring methods. Some customers prefer concrete footings, others use surface-mounted brackets, and still others need temporary anchors for movable setups. Including a one-size-fits-all kit could lead to wasted materials or an insecure installation.
However, we strongly recommend purchasing a separate ground anchor kit that matches your bench model and surface type. For permanent installations on concrete or pavement, a heavy-duty anchor kit with stainless steel bolts and expansion shields works best. For grass or soil, ground spikes or concrete anchors are ideal. We offer compatible anchor kits—just let us know your specific setup, and we’ll point you to the right one.
If you’re unsure whether your bench needs anchoring, here’s a quick rule of thumb: Any bench that will be used by the public, exposed to strong winds, or placed on uneven ground should be anchored. This prevents tipping, theft, and accidental injury.
