Selecting
for User Groups
- When selecting
a bench for a school save money by choosing a backless bench,
as children like to sit back to back with each other, providing
twice the seating spaces
- When selecting
a bench that will be used by seniors offer an arm rest so they
can get up and down easier
- When selecting
pieces for public spaces include a mid-span arm rest, which
helps to define personal space and discourage inappropriate
use by skaters and vagrants
- When putting
a bench into a daycare or childcare centre never put a bench
with a back against a fence as children can easily climb this
and escape or fall and injure themselves
Selecting
Materials and Footings
- Recycled
plastic slats offer a durable colour, with low maintenance and
readily dry with little or no mopping after rain
- Wood Slats
offer a warm, natural appearance and feel
- Consider
your surface treatment below your site furnishings - concrete,
asphalt, compacted granular pad are suitable hard surfaces to
negate ponding at the foot area. The surface also dictates the
style of footing (free standing, bolt down or in ground) to
order with your site furnishings.
- Freestanding
footings offer the ease of moving for lawn maintenance etc…
- A clean
footing treatment reduces litter build-up and other maintenance
concerns
