If you’re asking what the lead time is for a custom color on our park benches, the standard answer is 4 to 6 weeks. I’ll be straight with you: that timeline can shift depending on the season, order size, and how quickly color approval is finalized.
Here’s what actually happens behind the scenes. Once your order is confirmed, we match or prepare your custom color—often a RAL or powder coat selection—and, if needed, send a physical swatch for approval. Swatch approval typically adds 2 to 5 business days. After that, your bench frames are coated, cured, assembled, and packed for shipping.
If you’re ordering in spring or early summer, I’d plan for the longer end of that range. Peak outdoor furniture season can push custom color benches to 6 or even 8 weeks. On the other hand, if your project is urgent, ask about expedited production or an in-stock bench frame that can be finished in your color. Expediting can sometimes bring the wait down to around 3 weeks, though it may come with a rush fee.
The best way to keep your lead time short is to lock in details early: quantity, bench style, mounting method, color code, and extras like armrests or anti-theft hardware. Changes after production starts are the fastest way to add delays.
So realistically, expect 4 to 6 weeks for a custom color park bench. If you need a firm date, send over your specs and installation deadline. We’ll confirm the current schedule and let you know exactly what’s possible.
