Where it fits

Squares, promenades, pedestrian boulevards, parks, and school or university grounds where benches are lined up in long rows or used to divide space.

Tip

By combining several S, M and M Plus modules, you can create a row of benches of the desired length. Due to their heavy weight, the benches are delivered and placed using lifting equipment, so it is worth planning the location in advance.

Bench with or without a backrest – which to choose?

For seating areas, parks and courtyards, benches with a backrest are a better fit – they are more comfortable for longer stays. In transit areas, at bus stops and near schools, backless benches are usually enough; they take up less space and can be sat on from both sides. For longer sitting, models with armrests or a higher backrest are more comfortable for older people.

Concrete, steel or with wood – what's the difference?

Concrete benches are heavy and stable, suitable for squares and busy places. Steel benches with a galvanised and painted frame are lighter, so they are fixed to the base. Wooden slats on the seat are warmer and more pleasant than metal or concrete.

Does an outdoor bench need to be fixed?

Heavy concrete benches usually stand stably without anchors. In public places it is recommended to fix steel benches to the base so that they are not moved around or carried off – anchors are included for some models. When placing on sand or gravel, small concrete footings are first poured under the legs.

What wood is used and how should it be cared for?

Seats use impregnated and painted black alder, spruce, pine or other softwood, as well as weather-resistant acacia. For some models, composite can be chosen instead of wood. Clean the wood regularly, and when the coating wears, renew it with protective paint or oil.

Can I choose the colour of the bench?

The frames of steel benches are powder-coated, in most cases in the RAL palette. For concrete benches you can choose stone chips in different shades, and the wood is painted or oiled. Check the available options when ordering.

Are there modular and curved benches?

Yes. Modular benches allow you to create a seating line of the desired length or shape, and curved segments a circular seating area around a tree or flower bed. There are also benches with an integrated bike rack, which suit school or office entrances.

Can an outdoor table be matched with benches?

Yes, it is worth choosing a table together with benches from the same series – the surroundings then look coherent and the dimensions match each other. Like benches, outdoor tables must be sturdy, moisture-resistant and easy to maintain. You can also choose a waste bin from the same line for the seating area.
