Thank you for your important question regarding security. We completely understand the need for durable, fixed outdoor seating in public spaces. Our benches are specifically engineered to be difficult to move or steal, combining robust construction with permanent installation methods.
Our primary security feature is a heavy-duty anchoring system. Each bench includes integrated, reinforced steel mounting plates pre-drilled for large anchor bolts. We recommend using concrete expansion bolts or chemical anchors to permanently secure the bench directly into a concrete pad or footing. Once installed, the bench cannot be lifted or shifted without specialized tools and significant effort.
The materials themselves contribute to security. We use commercial-grade, powder-coated steel or cast aluminum for frames, which are not only weather-resistant but also too heavy and unwieldy to carry away easily. For the slats, we offer options like solid hardwood or composite lumber, securely riveted or bolted with tamper-resistant, one-way fasteners that cannot be removed with standard screwdrivers.
Furthermore, our designs minimize hidden handholds or gaps that would allow leverage for lifting. Some models can even be specified with the legs set into concrete during the pour, creating a truly permanent installation.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide peace of mind. By making the effort required to remove our benches far greater than any potential reward, we help deter theft and vandalism, ensuring your public or commercial space remains furnished and welcoming for years to come.
