URBAN BENCHES

Installing outdoor benches on concrete requires proper preparation and the right hardware to ensure stability and longevity. First, assess your concrete surface to ensure it's level and free from major cracks or damage. You'll need concrete anchor bolts, which are specifically designed to create strong, permanent connections with concrete surfaces. The installation process involves marking precise drill points, using a hammer drill with a masonry bit to create holes, cleaning out debris from the holes, and then setting the anchors before securing the bench legs or base plates. For heavy-duty applications or in areas with high wind exposure, consider using epoxy anchors for maximum holding power. Always use corrosion-resistant hardware, especially for outdoor installations where weather elements can cause deterioration. Proper spacing of anchors is crucial - typically one at each corner of the bench base, with additional anchors for longer benches. Allow any concrete adhesive or epoxy to fully cure according to manufacturer instructions before using the bench. This method creates a secure installation that will withstand years of use and exposure to outdoor conditions while preventing theft or accidental displacement.
