It has to be benches. Imagine a beautiful park with everything to make it perfect but no benches. It cannot be complete without a good seating arrangement. If used with a little creativity and innovation, park benches can give the park a distinct look, adding to its beauty.
Park benches have been an integral part of parks since a long time. They offer a place to sit while relaxing at the park and enjoying the view. Especially people in the older age group cannot think of going to a park without the facility of benches as they cannot stand for too long and need a comfortable place to sit. Apart from parks they are used in schools, sidewalks, playgrounds and several other public places. Earlier park benches were usually made of wood or concrete as they were strong and looked good. Also there weren't too many options to make a choice. However now, there is a wide range of park benches available in all kinds of materials, designs and sizes.
From the standard benches with a back and armrests or traditional park benches made of wooden planks to circular geometric style, many different varieties of benches are now available. They are available in different materials like wood, plastic and steel. While wood benches are light, affordable and go well with the natural beauty of the park, steel benches are stronger and durable and can give a new look to the park depending on what kind of design is chosen. Wood benches give a natural look to the park, while new, innovative, trendy designs can be chosen in steel to give a different look to the place. Recycled plastic can be a great alternative to wooden benches as they are light, durable, comfortable and cheap. Also, since recycled plastic is used, they are Eco-friendly, thus good from an environment point of view. Park benches also come in an assortment of colors so that they can go perfectly well with the overall color coordination of the park.
The material that the benches are made of should be of high quality to be able to withstand changing, harsh weather conditions and should not be destructive to the level possible, as park benches are usually found at public places and can be subject to vandalism. Similarly low maintenance benches are preferable as it is difficult to monitor and replace the benches again and again. The colors used should be long lasting and not fade due to constant exposure to sun, rain, etc. If wood is used in the benches, it should not be vulnerable to insects, as it can easily get damaged in that case. Similarly, if steel is used it should be coated with some kind of rust resistant covering to prevent it from rusting.
While ordering commercial park benches it is essential to ensure that good, durable and high quality material is being used to save the hassles of replacement later.
