At our manufacturing facility, every park bench undergoes a comprehensive testing protocol to guarantee both safety and long-term durability. We begin with structural integrity assessments where each bench must withstand static loads exceeding 200% of its rated capacity without deformation. Our accelerated weathering tests simulate years of exposure to sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations using specialized chambers that replicate harsh environmental conditions.
The testing continues with material-specific evaluations where we analyze resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and impact damage. All metal components undergo salt spray testing equivalent to 10 years of coastal exposure, while wooden elements are tested for moisture resistance and structural stability. We conduct cycle testing on all moving parts and seating surfaces, simulating decades of public use through mechanical actuators that apply repeated pressure and movement.
Our safety protocols include strict adherence to international standards such as ANSI/BIFMA for public furniture, with particular attention to sharp edge elimination, stability requirements, and slip resistance. Every bench design undergoes third-party certification and real-world installation monitoring before being approved for production. This multilayered approach ensures that when our benches arrive in your community, they're ready to provide safe, reliable service for generations to come.
