Take a Seat
Benches are an invaluable feature of every park and landscaped public area in the country. Whether you stop to take in the view, rest your feet, watch some sports action or relax with a book, a well constructed bench adds to the enjoyment of an outing or a break during the working day.
For the user, comfort and attractiveness are key features of a bench, but for the local authority or site owner, sturdiness and durability are arguably the most important features. Hardwood and metal are popular material choices; plastic, composites and concrete are also used.
A wide range of styles is available to suit different environments and complement the period of the surrounding buildings. Some companies offer a bespoke service for specific requirements.
Whatever style or material chosen, quality construction is essential with great care taken over joints and fixings.
