URBAN BENCHES

When installing urban benches on concrete slabs, you have several reliable anchoring options to ensure stability and safety. The most common method is surface mounting using expansion anchors or concrete screws. Drill holes into the concrete, insert anchors, and bolt through the bench's base plates. For a cleaner look, consider embedded anchor plates cast into the concrete during slab pouring—these allow for bolt-on installation later. Sleeve anchors provide excellent holding power for heavy-use areas, while chemical adhesives offer vibration-resistant bonding without drilling. Always use corrosion-resistant hardware like galvanized or stainless steel. Proper spacing of anchor points—typically at all four corners—prevents rocking. Check local regulations for accessibility requirements, ensuring anchors don't create tripping hazards. Regular inspection of anchors maintains long-term security, preventing theft and vandalism while keeping public spaces both functional and welcoming.
