Absolutely, you can! The need for spacious, communal seating in outdoor areas is common, and many manufacturers and suppliers specialize in creating single, extra-wide benches designed precisely for this purpose. Whether for a public park, a university campus, a business plaza, or a large private garden, these benches are built to accommodate several people comfortably, promoting social interaction and providing ample resting space.
Unlike connecting multiple standard benches, a single extra-wide unit offers a unified look and often greater structural integrity. They are typically constructed from durable materials like powder-coated steel, treated hardwood, recycled plastic, or commercial-grade polymers to withstand heavy use and various weather conditions. When ordering, key considerations include the desired length (common widths range from 6 to 12 feet or more), the material based on maintenance and climate, the style to match the environment, and anchoring options for public safety. Many companies offer custom solutions, allowing you to specify dimensions, materials, colors, and even add features like armrests or dividers. For commercial projects, it's crucial to select benches that meet relevant durability and safety standards. So, for your project requiring generous seating, a single, extra-wide outdoor bench is not only possible but often the ideal and most elegant solution.
