URBAN BENCHES

Securing an outdoor bench to a concrete foundation is crucial for preventing theft and ensuring long-term stability. The best method depends on your specific bench and concrete slab, but several reliable techniques exist. For a permanent, heavy-duty solution, using wedge anchors or sleeve anchors is highly effective. These require drilling a hole into the concrete, inserting the anchor, and tightening it to create a powerful expansion grip. For a slightly less permanent but still very strong option, concrete screws (like Tapcon screws) are excellent. They tap their own threads into a pre-drilled hole and are easier to remove if needed. For lightweight benches or situations where drilling is not desired, a high-strength construction adhesive or epoxy anchor can be used, bonding the bench's mounting plates directly to the concrete. Regardless of the method, always start by marking the exact drilling points, use a hammer drill with a carbide-tipped bit for clean holes, and thoroughly clean the holes of all dust before inserting the fastener. This ensures a safe, secure, and durable installation that will keep your bench in place for years to come.
