Product code: ESC-SERP
A modular concrete bench system for straight or winding seating lines, with backrest and teak seat options.
Serp is a bench system that combines modules of different radii to form long straight or zigzagging seating lines. The rounded module ends allow them to be joined without great precision, and backrest versions improve accessibility. Serp benches can also act as retaining benches, separating planted areas, seating zones and footpaths. In the Serp Comfort version, a teak seat is recessed into the module.

Parks and gardens, squares, promenades, the surroundings of playgrounds and school grounds – wherever long, low-maintenance seating lines are needed.
Mix curved and straight modules and insert a few backrest modules so the line is comfortable for older users too. The modules are heavy and are placed with lifting equipment.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
