Thank you for your excellent question about how we package our park benches for shipping! It's a crucial part of ensuring your order arrives in perfect condition, ready for installation. We take this process very seriously.
Our packaging is a multi-layered system designed to protect against the rigors of transit. First, the entire bench is meticulously wrapped in a soft, foam material to prevent any scratches or abrasions on the powder-coated steel or hardwood surfaces. For the bench legs and any protruding parts, we use high-density foam corner protectors and edge guards.
Next, the wrapped bench is placed into a custom-fitted, heavy-duty cardboard box. This box is specifically designed to be a snug fit, eliminating any internal movement that could cause damage. For our larger or more premium benches, we often use a fully enclosed wooden crate. This crate is constructed from sturdy timber and plywood, offering the highest level of protection for long-distance or international shipments.
Finally, the boxes or crates are clearly marked with "Fragile" and "This Side Up" labels to guide handling. We partner with reliable shipping carriers who understand the importance of careful logistics for bulky items. Our goal is simple: for you to unbox a pristine, damage-free park bench. We're confident in our packaging and stand behind our products.
