URBAN BENCHES

Anchoring your new garden bench to a concrete slab is a smart way to prevent theft and ensure it stays perfectly positioned. Here's a straightforward guide. First, you'll need the right tools: a hammer drill, masonry bit, concrete screws or anchor bolts, a wrench, and a marker. Begin by positioning your bench exactly where you want it. Mark the drilling points through the bench's pre-existing leg holes or mounting brackets onto the concrete. Put on safety glasses. Using the hammer drill and a masonry bit sized for your anchors, drill holes into the concrete slab at your marks. Clear the dust from the holes. Next, align the bench legs over the holes. Insert the concrete screws or anchor bolts through the bench's mounting points and into the holes. Tighten them securely with your wrench, but be careful not to overtighten and damage the bench material. For benches without pre-drilled legs, you might use surface-mounted metal brackets or post anchors secured to the concrete, then attach the bench to them. This simple project adds significant security and peace of mind, keeping your outdoor seating safe and stable through all seasons.
