That's an excellent and very practical question. Thank you for asking. The short and reassuring answer is no, our urban benches are specifically designed for installation without requiring any special, proprietary, or heavy-duty tools.
We understand that our clients, from city parks departments to private developers, need a streamlined process. Our installation philosophy is centered on simplicity and efficiency. Typically, the installation requires only common, basic tools that are readily available in any standard maintenance toolkit. This includes items like a wrench set, a rubber mallet, a level, and possibly a cordless drill for pre-drilling pilot holes if installing onto certain hard surfaces like concrete.
Each bench ships with comprehensive, step-by-step instructions and all the necessary high-grade, corrosion-resistant hardware for secure anchoring—such as bolts, expansion anchors, or mounting plates, chosen based on the installation surface (concrete, asphalt, or paired with our optional embedded ground sockets). The process generally involves positioning the bench, marking the anchor points, drilling (if needed), and then securely fastening it down. For larger or modular configurations, an extra pair of hands is helpful, but no technical expertise is required.
Our goal is to get our durable, comfortable seating in place quickly and securely, minimizing downtime and labor cost. So, you can proceed with confidence knowing the installation is a straightforward task for your maintenance team or contractor.
