You're right to ask about security – it's a major concern for public spaces. What makes our benches different isn't just one feature, but a multi-layered defense system designed from the ground up to deter theft.
First, it starts with the mounting. Our standard installation uses a fully embedded concrete footing system. The bench legs are set deep into concrete foundations, making removal without heavy machinery virtually impossible. For surfaces where embedding isn't feasible, we use custom, proprietary tamper-proof security bolts that require unique, non-standard tools to access. These aren't bolts you can buy at a hardware store.
The materials themselves are a deterrent. We use heavy-gauge, powder-coated steel for frames – it's durable, but more importantly, it has minimal scrap value compared to materials like pure aluminum or copper, removing the primary incentive for metal theft. Where we use wood, it's sustainably sourced hardwood secured with internal steel connectors, not just surface screws.
Finally, our design philosophy eliminates easy targets. All valuable components – bolts, connectors, and fittings – are either concealed, welded shut, or designed to spin freely if tampered with. This "defensive design" makes the effort of theft far outweigh any potential reward.
The result is a bench that blends seamlessly into your park's aesthetic while presenting a significant, frustrating obstacle to thieves. It's not just a bench; it's a permanent, secure asset for your community.
