URBAN BENCHES

Thanks for asking—this is one of the most practical questions we get from landscape architects and facility managers, and the short answer is yes: our urban benches include anti-theft fasteners as standard on most public-use models, not as a pricey add-on. Not all anti-theft hardware is the same, so we match the fastener to the risk level. For standard streetscape and park settings, we install tamper-resistant Torx or pin-in-torx screws that need a specialized driver. For high-risk areas such as transit stops, nightlife districts, or isolated trails, we upgrade to stainless steel one-way security bolts combined with structural adhesive. These can’t be backed out with ordinary tools, so the bench stays put but can still be serviced by our crews with the correct bits. The base plates and mounting points are also designed to reduce leverage. Instead of exposed bolt heads that invite tampering, most of our heavy-duty models recess the fasteners and cover them with flush caps. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference when someone shows up with a socket set and bad intentions. We also think about maintenance. Security hardware should not turn routine servicing into a two-day job. That’s why our anti-theft fixings are corrosion-resistant and selected for long outdoor life—no rust streaks bleeding down the concrete, no seized bolts after one winter. Our team can supply the matching driver bits to your maintenance crew and keep replacements in stock. If you’re specifying for a specific site, let us know the surface—concrete, asphalt, pavers—and the risk level. We can recommend the right hardware package and even pre-drill the feet for anchor bolts. In public spaces, the goal is simple: keep the bench where it belongs, keep it safe, and keep it looking good.
