Yes, we do offer park benches with a slatted design that helps reduce wind resistance. In open, exposed locations like waterfronts, hilltops, and large plazas, solid bench panels can act like sails and catch strong gusts. Slatted benches allow air to pass through the gaps between the boards, which lowers the overall wind load and reduces the chance of the bench tipping, shifting, or suffering stress damage over time.
Our slatted park benches are available in several materials, including high-density hardwood, recycled plastic lumber, and powder-coated steel. The gap between slats is a key detail: wide enough to let wind flow through, but still narrow enough to stay comfortable and safe for public seating. Most of our commercial models use a gap of around 10–15 mm to balance airflow, comfort, and durability.
Beyond wind resistance, slatted benches drain rainwater quickly, dry faster after storms, and stay cooler in direct sun. If your location is especially windy or coastal, we can also recommend heavier frames, stainless steel hardware, or in-ground mounting kits for extra stability. Just let me know the site conditions and the number of benches you need, and I can help you choose the right wind-resistant slatted option.
