After five years of enduring constant use and exposure to the elements, park benches commonly develop several predictable issues. The most frequent problem is weathered and cracked wood. Constant sun exposure causes wood to dry out and split, while rain leads to warping and rot in untreated areas. Metal benches face their own battle with rust, particularly at joints and connection points where moisture accumulates. Structural instability becomes apparent as bolts loosen and frames shift, creating wobbly benches that pose safety risks. The seating surfaces often show significant wear patterns where people most commonly sit, creating uncomfortable dips and splintered areas. Finally, the protective coatings—whether paint, stain, or sealant—typically show extensive fading and peeling, leaving the underlying material vulnerable to further damage. Regular maintenance including tightening bolts, reapplying protective coatings, and replacing damaged slats can significantly extend a bench's functional lifespan.
