Thank you for your question regarding the security of our urban benches. It's a crucial consideration for public spaces. In short, yes, the hardware used is specifically designed to be highly tamper-resistant, though no system is absolutely 100% foolproof.
We prioritize durability and longevity. Our benches typically feature welded frames wherever possible, eliminating external fasteners entirely at key stress points. Where bolts are necessary, we use specialized security fasteners—such as pin-head or one-way screws—that cannot be removed with standard tools like hex keys or screwdrivers. These are often combined with concealed mounting systems that anchor the bench to its concrete foundation, making disassembly from above ground virtually impossible.
The materials themselves contribute to this defense. We use heavy-gauge, powder-coated steel or cast aluminum, which are difficult to cut or bend casually. Furthermore, components like slats are often secured from the underside or with internal channels, protecting the attachment points from direct access.
This tamper-proof approach serves two main purposes: it significantly reduces opportunistic vandalism and theft, ensuring the bench remains safe and functional for the community, and it dramatically lowers long-term maintenance costs. By investing in this robust hardware from the start, we create public assets that withstand daily use and deter damage, allowing everyone to enjoy these spaces for years to come. Our goal is to provide seating that is not only comfortable and aesthetically pleasing but also a resilient and permanent part of the urban landscape.
