A: This collection represents the longest, largest, and most specialized outdoor seating available, including benches up to 10 or 12 feet in length.
Definition: These are benches designed for institutional or large-scale custom applications. They are almost always built to order and require advanced structural engineering.
Typical Customers: City parks, university campuses, outdoor amphitheaters, massive estate patios, golf courses, and commercial developers who need dedicated, durable mass seating.
Seating Capacity: Easily seats seven to ten adults, making them ideal for large-scale social or viewing areas.
A: Safety and structural engineering are paramount for this category:
Heavy-Gauge Steel Internal Framing: For spans over 8 feet, the Bench (even if made of poly lumber or wood) must contain a hidden, heavy-gauge galvanized or stainless steel internal frame running the full length of the seat and backrest. It is non-negotiable for preventing catastrophic failure under load.
Permanent Installation: These benches are almost always intended for permanent, fixed installation. They should be bolted or cemented into a concrete pad or other permanent foundation to ensure stability and safety.
Expert Assembly: Assembly should be carried out by a professional installation team, as the sections are heavy and the alignment of the internal structural components is crucial for integrity.
A: Only the highest-grade, most durable materials are suitable for this category:
Recycled Plastic (Poly Lumber): The most common choice for municipal and commercial applications due to its immunity to rot, termites, and weather, combined with high UV resistance. It is often reinforced with steel.
High-Density Hardwoods: Tropical hardwoods (such as Ipe) or reinforced domestic species with specialized commercial-grade finishes are used when a natural wood aesthetic is required.
Vandalism/Wear Resistance: The surfaces are designed to resist heavy institutional wear, scrapes, and minor vandalism, often featuring thicker slats and non-removable hardware.
A: Shipping and delivery are complex and costly for this size:
Freight Shipping: These benches are too large for standard courier services and must be shipped via specialized freight on pallets, often requiring a commercial dock or a dedicated lift gate upon delivery.
Modular Sections: They are almost always delivered in heavy, modular sections that require assembly on-site.
Lead Time: Due to their custom or specialty nature, the lead time from order to delivery is significantly longer than for stock items, often 8 to 16 weeks. It should be clearly communicated to the customer.
