That's an excellent and very practical question! When you're planning a public space, park, or streetscape, understanding the delivery and setup process is crucial for project timelines. So, let's get straight to it.
The answer depends entirely on the specific model of urban bench you select. Our product line includes both options to suit different project needs.
For many of our heavy-duty, cast iron or cast aluminum benches designed for permanent installation, we typically ship them pre-assembled. These units are built as a single, solid piece to ensure maximum durability and vandal resistance. They arrive ready to be anchored directly to your concrete footing or pre-installed base, minimizing on-site labor.
Conversely, some of our modern, modular, or longer sectional benches may require some assembly upon delivery. This is often done to optimize shipping efficiency, protect the components during transit, and offer flexibility in configuration. For these models, you might need to attach the bench slats to the pre-welded frame or connect multiple sections together. Rest assured, we provide clear, step-by-step instructions and all necessary hardware. The assembly is generally straightforward and can be completed by your maintenance team or a contractor with basic tools.
Here’s what you can generally expect:
* Pre-assembled Delivery: Ideal for standard, single-unit benches. It simplifies installation but may have higher shipping volume.
* Knock-Down (KD) or Some Assembly: Common for larger orders, complex designs, or to reduce shipping costs. Requires some on-site labor.
Our Recommendation: Always check the product specifications or consult with our sales team before ordering. We can clarify the assembly requirements for your chosen model, provide installation guides in advance, and even connect you with local installers if needed. Our goal is to ensure your new urban seating is installed correctly and ready for the community to enjoy with minimal hassle.
