When installing park benches, safety and stability are our top priorities. We use several professional anchoring methods to ensure benches remain securely in place for public use.
The most common anchoring technique involves concrete footings. We dig holes at installation points, pour concrete foundations, and embed special anchor bolts or plates into the wet concrete. Once cured, these provide a permanent, extremely sturdy base that prevents shifting or tipping.
For surfaces where permanent concrete work isn't feasible, we use surface-mounted anchors. These heavy-duty steel fixtures bolt directly into existing concrete pads or sidewalks. They're designed to withstand significant weight and leverage forces while being slightly more adjustable than embedded systems.
All our anchoring hardware includes anti-theft features. We use specialized security bolts that require unique tools for removal, discouraging vandalism and unauthorized relocation. The anchor points are typically concealed beneath the bench seating or within the frame to maintain aesthetic appeal while providing maximum security.
The specific anchoring method we choose depends on several factors: the bench's design and weight, expected usage levels, ground conditions, and local weather patterns. In areas with high wind or potential flooding, we often install deeper foundations with additional reinforcement.
Regular maintenance checks ensure anchors remain tight and undamaged. Our installation teams follow strict protocols to verify each bench meets safety standards before public use, giving communities durable, reliable seating that will serve them safely for years to come.
