Discovering a damaged bench in your local park or street can be disappointing. It compromises safety, aesthetics, and public amenity. So, what happens next? Typically, municipal maintenance teams are alerted to assess the damage. For minor issues like loose screws or slats, repairs are often made on-site. For major damage, the bench may be temporarily removed.
Yes, we do sell replacement parts! Whether it's a new wooden slat, a metal bracket, a complete armrest, or fasteners, sourcing the correct part is key. We recommend contacting your local authority or the original bench supplier first. They can provide specific part numbers or direct you to authorized distributors. For common bench models, many standard parts are available for purchase online or through hardware specialists specializing in urban furniture.
To report a damaged bench, use your city's 311 app or public works contact. Providing a photo and precise location speeds up the process. Regular maintenance and using quality replacement parts extend the life of our shared urban furniture, keeping our communities welcoming for everyone.
