We are happy to deliver and install, or we can deliver/supply you with an installation kit so that a local contractor can carry out the work.
The bench can be installed directly into a grassed area, it can be secured to slabs in a grassed area or can be secured to a plinth.
In all cases we use specially made galvanised steel brackets/anchors and stainless steel screws.
Securing to a specially made plinth or onto slabs keeps the bench clear of the ground and will ensure maximum life of the bench.
A properly constructed plinth should be at least 300mm longer then the bench and be a minimum of 1200mm front to back and 75mm thick - this ensures maximum comfort and that the foot area does not become muddy; if you want a plinth then you must arrange this locally, we cannot provide.
When choosing a location for the bench try to select an area that is reasonably flat and not too close to trees as the roots will cause problems. Please see data sheet for more information.
Our installation kits consist of high quality steel brackets/anchors that have been drilled and then hot dip/spun galvanised to ISO1461 which gives an expected maintenance-free life of 50 years; the screws and anti theft nuts used are stainless steel and the shield anchors are zinc plated .
Please note that the most secure method of securing the bench is either by bolting the bench to a special plinth or by use of the concreted-in anchors; securing the bench to slabs as in the picture below is less secure because of the difficulty of bonding the slab to the concrete on which they are bedded. The studs used are 30 cm long and extend into the cement but they cannot be guaranteed to bond.
Please ensure that you have obtained written permission for the bench to be installed in your chosen location and also that the method of securing/installing the bench is approved. Should we incur extra expense or be caused delay in this matter then we reserve the right to charge accordingly.We are unable to store a completed bench.
