That's an excellent and very important question! The weight capacity is a crucial factor for both safety and longevity. For our standard outdoor benches, you can typically expect a weight capacity ranging from 500 pounds (227 kg) to 1,000 pounds (454 kg) per bench.
However, it's not a one-size-fits-all answer. The exact capacity depends on several factors:
* Material: Benches made from solid steel or thick, commercial-grade aluminum generally support more weight than those made from certain woods or lighter metals.
* Design & Construction: A bench with a reinforced frame, additional center supports, and bolted (rather than screwed) connections will have a significantly higher weight rating.
* Intended Use: Benches designed for public parks, stadiums, or other commercial settings are built to withstand much heavier and more frequent use than a standard residential garden bench.
We always recommend checking the specific product specifications for the exact weight limit. Our product pages and user manuals clearly state the tested and certified capacity to ensure you choose a bench that is perfectly safe and durable for your needs. When in doubt, opting for a bench with a higher weight capacity is a smart choice for long-term peace of mind.
