Benches

A bench is needed by a person for relaxation, communication and landscape design. Garden benches are often installed in places of large crowds, parks, near public institutions, as well as in the courtyards of apartment buildings and private houses. The main functions performed by street benches are to ensure the convenience of walking and waiting areas, the aesthetics of the area and even help athletes in training.

Making benches: their varieties

Park benches are divided into separate types, taking into account the purpose, configuration and materials used. The basic garden benches and street options include straight classic models, designs with a backrest for rest, and radius models installed near trees. When making benches, wood, metal and concrete are most often used. The ergonomic dimensions of the seat of benches for rest are approximately 40-45 cm in depth and 40-50 cm in height.

The following types of street benches are usually distinguished:

• By design - with and without a backrest

The second option is distinguished by its simplicity and compactness, well suited for a short break. Park benches with a backrest also have armrests. Radius benches for the yard have the shape of a semicircle, are installed around flower beds or trees.

• By material - wooden, metal, stone and combined benches for the garden

Wooden models have a classic look. They are warm, cozy, but require constant care - painting the benches, protection from moisture. Metal benches for the park are characterized by high strength, often with forged ornaments. Such benches for the dacha last a long time, but the metal heats up a lot in the sun and cools down in the cold.

The most reliable are combined benches made of wood and metal. The frame of the bench is made of metal, and the seat and back are made of wood. This makes it possible to obtain high indicators of strength and comfort. Stone and concrete designer benches are extremely heavy and monumental.

Where are metal benches used?

Metal frame bench structures are placed mainly in the territory of administrative facilities and for the design of various landscapes. Most often these are:

• park areas and recreation areas;
• playgrounds for children's games;
• business and shopping centers;
• streets and public places;
• transport stops;
• educational institutions;
• suburban summer cottages.

For the manufacture of metal benches, special grades of steel are used, which are distinguished by certain characteristics - strength, resistance to temperature extremes, etc.

A profile metal pipe acts as the frame of the structure. More budget park metal benches to order are made of stainless steel, more expensive options are made of cast iron. To give a beautiful appearance, the surface of the benches is treated with paint. The seat can be made of wood or plastic. For the assembly of benches from wood and metal, welding or bolts are used.

Metal benches near the house are in high demand due to a number of objective advantages. The original aesthetics of durable metal benches make it possible to create the perfect addition to the landscape. Metal benches are unpretentious in operation and care - it is enough to periodically update the paintwork of welded benches to maintain their attractive appearance. And metal benches themselves are suitable for all-season use. They are more difficult to intentionally damage or steal, since in most cases, forged benches are fixed in a concrete base.
