Yes, our outdoor benches are professionally anchored to the ground for both safety and security purposes. This crucial step prevents tipping during inclement weather, deters theft, and ensures long-term stability for public spaces, parks, and commercial properties.
We employ several reliable anchoring methods depending on the bench design and installation surface:
For permanent installations on soil or grass, we typically use in-ground concrete foundations. This involves setting heavy-duty steel mounting plates into concrete footings below the frost line. The bench legs then bolt securely to these embedded plates, creating an extremely durable connection that withstands environmental stress and attempted removal.
For hard surfaces like concrete pavers or existing slabs, we utilize surface-mounted anchors. These include expansion bolts that drill directly into the concrete or specialized security brackets that bolt to the surface while attaching to the bench frame. This method provides excellent security while allowing for potential relocation if necessary.
Some of our commercial-grade benches feature integrated ground anchors - specially designed spikes that drive deep into the earth beneath the bench, providing substantial resistance against lifting or tipping without requiring concrete work.
All our anchoring systems use tamper-resistant hardware, requiring special tools for removal. This security feature significantly reduces theft risk while maintaining the bench's aesthetic appeal. The specific anchoring method we recommend depends on your site conditions, security requirements, and whether you anticipate needing to move the bench in the future.
Proper anchoring not only protects your investment but also ensures compliance with safety standards for public seating installations. We carefully assess each location to determine the most appropriate anchoring solution that balances security, permanence, and installation practicality.
