When we design an urban bench, we consider it a long-term investment in public space. That's why the fastening systems we use are chosen specifically to combat the two biggest enemies of outdoor furniture: constant use and unpredictable weather. We don't rely on standard screws or bolts that can rust and loosen over time.
Our primary system involves heavy-duty, hot-dipped galvanized steel brackets and anchors. For benches mounted on concrete surfaces, we use expanding anchor bolts made from stainless steel, which are set deep into the substrate to prevent any wobbling or lifting, even under the most demanding conditions. The connection points between the bench frame and its slats are secured with specially designed, self-locking nuts and corrosion-resistant bolts. These nuts are engineered to resist loosening from vibration and thermal expansion, a common cause of bench failure.
Furthermore, we often employ concealed fastening systems where possible. This means the hardware is hidden from view, protected from the elements and potential vandalism. Every metal component, from the washers to the bolts themselves, is either stainless steel or has a robust powder-coated finish to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture, UV radiation, and salt. This meticulous attention to our fastening methodology is a silent promise that our benches will remain secure, stable, and safe for your community for decades to come.
