URBAN BENCHES

That's an excellent question! Yes, absolutely. We specifically engineer our outdoor benches to handle rainwater effectively, because standing water is the enemy of both comfort and longevity. Our designs incorporate several key features to ensure quick drainage. First, you'll find strategically placed drainage holes or channels in the seat slats. These aren't just random holes; they're positioned to guide water off the seating surface rapidly, preventing large puddles from forming. Secondly, many of our benches feature a slight, intentional tilt or curvature to the seat. This subtle design encourages water to run off toward the edges rather than pooling in the center. For benches with solid seats, we incorporate a grooved or textured surface that breaks up water tension, allowing it to flow away more easily. The materials themselves play a role too. We use premium, non-porous woods like thermally modified ash or dense hardwoods, along with powder-coated metals and all-weather polymers. These materials don't absorb water and dry quickly once the rain stops. The goal is simple: to provide a bench that sheds water efficiently, minimizes maintenance, and is ready for use again shortly after a downpour, ensuring your outdoor space remains functional and inviting in all weather conditions.
