URBAN BENCHES

At our manufacturing facility, we subject every park bench design to exhaustive durability testing that simulates decades of public use. Our process begins with weight cycling tests where hydraulic actuators apply pressure equivalent to 300-500 pounds at various points on the bench seat and backrest, completing over 100,000 cycles to represent 10+ years of use. We then move to environmental chambers that replicate extreme weather conditions - from scorching 120°F heat to freezing -20°F temperatures, with UV exposure testing to evaluate color fading and material degradation. The benches undergo impact resistance testing where weighted pendulums strike critical areas, and vandalism resistance assessments using various tools. Our corrosion testing involves salt spray chambers for metal components and moisture resistance checks for wooden elements. We specifically test joint integrity, leg stability, and fastener security under twisting and rocking motions. All materials are analyzed for structural fatigue points using strain gauges and computer modeling. Additionally, we conduct real-world testing in high-traffic public areas where benches endure 24/7 public use while our engineers monitor performance metrics. This comprehensive approach ensures every bench exceeds ASTM F2200 standards for outdoor furniture before earning our certification for market release.
