Thank you for raising such an important concern. You're absolutely right to think about safety when it comes to public furniture, especially regarding slat spacing on park benches. It's a detail that matters greatly for the well-being of all users, particularly children.
At our company, safety is not an afterthought—it's the foundation of our design process. We rigorously engineer our park benches to prevent accidents. Our standard slat spacing is intentionally minimal, carefully calculated to meet and exceed common safety guidelines, including relevant ASTM International standards. This close spacing prevents items from falling through and, most critically, eliminates the risk of small children getting their heads or limbs trapped.
Beyond spacing, we select durable, splinter-free materials and apply smooth, rounded finishes on every edge. Our benches are also tested for structural integrity and stability to withstand public use. We believe a public bench should be a place of relaxation and community, free from worry. So, to directly answer your question: yes, ours are designed for your safety and peace of mind. Every detail, from the slats to the bolts, is chosen with the user's security and comfort as the top priority.
