Great question! Installing our outdoor benches is designed to be straightforward, and for most models, you won't need a professional contractor at all. The process is typically a simple DIY project.
Most of our benches arrive partially assembled. You'll usually find the main frame constructed, with legs and supports already attached. Your task typically involves attaching the seat slats or backrest using the provided hardware—usually just bolts, screws, and an Allen wrench. We include all necessary tools and clear, illustrated instructions. The entire process often takes between 30 to 60 minutes with just one or two people.
For which benches might you consider a contractor? It's only recommended for our permanent, in-ground installations like heavy stone or concrete benches, or if you're installing multiple large units on uneven terrain. For 95% of our customers—whether for a patio, garden, or porch—our standard benches are designed for easy home assembly. Just ensure you have a level surface, follow the steps, and you'll be enjoying your new outdoor spot in no time.
