Thank you for your excellent question regarding the security of our public furniture. It's a concern we take very seriously in our design process. While no single feature can guarantee complete immunity, our park benches incorporate several robust, built-in anti-theft and anti-vandalism measures to deter theft and unauthorized removal.
Primarily, we utilize specialized, tamper-resistant fasteners. These are not standard screws or bolts that can be removed with common tools. Instead, they require unique, proprietary drivers, making disassembly extremely difficult for casual thieves. Furthermore, our benches are designed to be permanently anchored to in-ground concrete footings or permanent slabs. The anchoring system is often installed within the bench frame itself, hidden from view, preventing direct access to the mounting points.
The materials themselves contribute to security. We select heavy-duty, durable materials like thick, powder-coated steel, reinforced concrete, or dense, sustainably sourced hardwood. These materials are not only long-lasting but also inherently heavy and cumbersome, making them impractical to cart away quickly. The design often avoids small, detachable components, opting for welded frames and integrated elements to eliminate opportunities for opportunistic theft of parts.
Ultimately, our goal is to create benches that are assets to the community, not liabilities. By integrating these discreet security features directly into the design, we help ensure our seating remains where it belongs—in your park, plaza, or streetscape—serving the public for years to come. We focus on creating a seamless user experience where the security is felt in the product's longevity and permanence, not in its appearance.
