Bench Materials
Our playground benches are available in several materials, including:
- Recycled plastic: Our recycled plastic benches use plastic lumber custom-extruded from recycled plastics.
- Diamond pattern: Our diamond pattern benches are made from metal formed in a crisscross pattern.
- Perforated metal: The perforated metal benches have a metal sheet with a pattern of uniformly sized holes.
- Rib: Rib benches are made from metal welded or punched through in a way that resembles a rib cage.
Style Options
Choose from our many playground bench styles:
- Contemporary bench: Contemporary benches are made from metal or recycled plastic. This bench offers practical seating and a modern design.
- Plank bench: Plank benches have horizontal pieces of recycled plastic for the seating and backrest. They are versatile and can seat individuals, couples, and even families.
Design Features
Our playground bench styles include additional design options, including various choices for the bench’s back, armrests, and installation:
- Backs: Benches are available with or without backs. Backed benches support the back for easy relaxing, and they’re used when someone wants to sit for a while. A backless bench has more space for backpacks, water bottles, sunscreen, coats, and other belongings. They also give people more room to sit in various positions. People can use backless benches from any direction, so they’re common in open areas.
- Armrests: Another consideration is armrests or no armrests. Armrests give people a place to rest their arms when relaxing on the bench. People with mobility concerns can use armrests to steady themselves when sitting or standing. Benches with no armrests have more room for people’s belongings and allow families to sit closely. Benches with no armrests enable a person using a wheelchair to transition from their chair to the bench.
- Installation: Our benches have three installation options—in-ground, surface-mount, or portable. In-ground benches have legs embedded in concrete-filled holes. Surface-mount benches are mounted to a concrete pad with anchors. Portable benches can be placed anywhere without installation.
