Hey there! Thanks for reaching out about your community garden project—that sounds like a wonderful initiative. I’d be happy to walk you through the lead time and pricing options for 20 park benches.
First, on lead time: For an order of 20 benches, our standard production and delivery timeline is typically 4 to 6 weeks. This includes manufacturing (if the benches aren’t already in stock), quality checks, and shipping. However, if you are working with a specific grant deadline or grand opening date, please let me know—we can sometimes prioritize orders for community projects and reduce that window to 3–4 weeks for an additional rush fee. I’d recommend placing the order at least 8 weeks before you need them installed to allow for any weather delays or site preparation.
Now, about bulk discounts: Yes, absolutely! We love supporting community gardens and park projects. For orders of 20 benches, we offer a tiered discount structure. Typically, orders of 10–19 benches receive a 10% discount, but since you’re ordering 20, you qualify for our 15% bulk discount. This applies to our most popular models, like the classic pressure-treated pine bench or the recycled plastic slat bench (which is especially great for outdoor durability). Additionally, if you bundle the benches with a matching trash can or picnic table, we can offer an extra 5% off the total package.
A few tips to help you decide: For a community garden, I’d recommend benches with galvanized steel frames (rust-resistant) and slats that are easy to clean or replace. If your garden is near a playground, consider benches with rounded edges for safety. We also offer engraving on the backrest—perfect for donor recognition or a garden name—for a small setup fee.
To move forward, I’d suggest choosing two or three bench models from our catalog (I can send you the link). Once you decide, I’ll prepare a formal quote with the lead time and 15% discount applied. We also offer free shipping within the continental U.S. on orders over $2,000, which 20 benches would definitely qualify for.
Feel free to ask any other questions—about customization, warranty, or even installation tips. Happy to help you make this garden a beautiful, welcoming space for the community!
