URBAN BENCHES

Yes, many of our outdoor benches are designed with non-slip surfaces to keep you safe when wet conditions arise—and I’m happy to break down how we achieve that. When it rains or after a morning dew, the last thing you want is to slide off your seat. That’s why we prioritize textured materials like powder-coated aluminum with a grit finish, marine-grade polymer with built-in ridges, or synthetic rattan with a woven, high-friction texture. These surfaces provide extra grip even when soaked. For wooden benches, we often apply a slip-resistant varnish or add a subtle sand-like coating that doesn’t compromise the natural look. If you’re considering a specific model, please check the product description—our teak and poly lumber options usually feature a slightly roughened finish, too. And no matter which you choose, I always recommend adding rubber leg caps for stability on wet decks or tiles. The real key? We test each bench for slip resistance in simulated rain conditions during manufacturing. So unless you’re leaning backward at a 45-degree angle when it’s pouring, you can trust these benches to hold their ground. Got a specific bench in mind? Let me know the model, and I’ll confirm its exact non-slip features. Safety doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style.
