When ordering park benches with custom colors, the typical lead time ranges from 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation to shipment. This timeframe accounts for several important stages in our manufacturing process. First, our team must prepare and approve your specific color formulation, which involves matching your requested shade to our powder coating system. Then, the standard bench frame production begins, followed by the custom powder coating application that requires careful preparation and curing. Finally, assembly and quality checks ensure your benches meet our durability standards.
Several factors can influence this timeline. During peak seasons in spring and early summer, lead times may extend due to higher demand. The complexity of your color choice also matters - standard color matches proceed faster than completely custom formulations. Order quantity is another consideration, though we've optimized our process to handle both small and large orders efficiently.
We recommend planning your project with this 4-6 week baseline in mind and contacting us early in your planning process. Our team can provide current production schedules and may offer expedited options when available. For immediate needs, ask about our quick-ship programs with pre-selected color options that can reduce wait times significantly while still offering customization within our popular color range.
