The substantial weight of a concrete park bench is its greatest asset and its primary installation consideration. Unlike lighter materials, a concrete bench offers unmatched stability and vandal resistance, but this permanence requires careful planning. First, site preparation is crucial. The ground must be level and compacted; for soft soil, a gravel base or concrete pad may be necessary to prevent settling and tipping. Moving the bench requires appropriate equipment—a forklift, pallet jack, or multiple-person lift—to ensure safety and avoid damage. Once positioned, anchoring is often recommended. While the sheer mass provides significant resistance, anchoring kits (using bolts or ground sleeves) are essential for high-traffic or windy areas to eliminate any risk of movement. Ultimately, the installation effort is an investment in decades of low-maintenance, secure seating. The weight ensures the bench stays exactly where you place it, providing durable, reliable comfort for your community without worry of theft or easy displacement.
