Many Places besides Parks use Park Benches as Outdoor Furniture

We routinely seepark benches used as outdoor furniture on private school campuses.

Private schools are known for their impeccable landscaping and architecture.  Outdoor seating provides students and guests with many vantage points from which to absorb the sublime beauty of their surroundings.  For example, special courtyards are often built with backless benches that function as low-profile, yet very comfortable seats.  Benches with backs are used in front walkways leading up to the school entrance.  Here, a visitor can pause to admire a fountain, or gaze at the school logo emblazed on the rotunda of decorative concrete.  Custom outdoor benches are also used for outdoor seating in the viewing areas of formal gardens. 

It goes without saying that city governments represent one of the biggest users of park benches. 

One very popular option for officially designated parks is the wood imitation bench made from recycled plastic.  Its super weather resistance makes it a wise, low maintenance investment for small towns on a budget that prohibits continual replacement purchasing.  More contemporary metal bench styles are used as outdoor furniture on city sidewalk corners, government building courtyards, and bus stations.  Custom colors can match anything from traditional building architecture to ultra-contemporary building structures.

Librarians frequently order park benches in the triple bench chair design and backless benches in custom colors to match stone hardscapes, brickwork, and granite monumentation.

Plasticol® coated models also very popular with libraries because they combine long term durability with a clean, contemporary look very apropos to library building renovations.

Other facilities that use outdoor benches include banks and military bases.

Bench seating in these organization ranges from the basic to the highly customized.  Atriums, courtyards, interior lobbies, and shaded sidewalk spaces are just a few of the places where bench seating is commonly found.

Vandal resistant bench designs that are protected by thermoplastic coating guarantee a public school’s investment in outdoor furniture.

Thermoplastic® has an amazing ability to resist permanent damage.  While it can be cut, these cuts can be repaired with a heat gun.  The material will literally reshape itself to its original constitution without leaving any trace of scarring.  This proves invaluable to smaller schools who cannot afford to continue replacing outdoor furniture.

Other benefits that park benches bring to public school campuses are aesthetic compliments to school spirit and functional seating in student gathering areas.  Curved rod benches, for example, make superb additions to bus porches, cafeteria exteriors, and student pickup areas.  These benches can be ordered in school colors, and they can be customized with images of the school logo or mascot.

Because colleges and university campuses so often look like parks in their own right, outdoor benches are the natural seating choice to match surrounding landscape designs.

Many natural color choices exist to compliment the varying shades of manicured green spaces.  All outdoor furniture can be mounted in one of two ways.  It can be bolted directly to the concrete, or it can be fastened directly to the ground by means of leg extensions embedded in hardened concrete.  Portable models can be placed inside of buildings to provide seating in vestibules and hallways.  One of the most popular styles is the iron park bench which complements the architecture of any conservative campus notable for Old World or Early New England architectural styles.
