Great question! The answer really depends on the specific model you’re looking at and the intended use of the space. We offer both options because every park, plaza, or campus has different needs.
If you’re looking for flexibility—say, for a seasonal event space, a temporary setup, or a location where you might want to rearrange seating frequently—our portable park benches are perfect. They are designed to be lightweight enough for two people to move but heavy-duty enough to withstand regular use. We typically include pre-drilled holes for optional anchoring, but they’re not required. You can simply place them where you want, and move them as needed.
On the other hand, if security and theft prevention are top concerns, or if you’re installing benches in a high-traffic permanent spot like a bus stop or a monument area, then you’ll want our permanent bolted-down models. These come with heavy-duty mounting brackets and are meant to be secured to concrete or paved surfaces with expansion bolts. Once bolted, they’re extremely stable and virtually impossible to move without tools.
Many of our customers actually go with a hybrid approach: installing a few permanent benches in high-traffic anchor points, while keeping a stock of movable benches for flexible zones like grassy areas or pop-up markets.
So, to answer your question directly: yes, we have benches that are easy to move, and yes, we have benches meant to be bolted down permanently. It all comes down to whether you prioritize portability or permanence. Let me know which model you’re interested in, and I can point you to the best option for your project!
