A Street Bench for Contemporary Outdoor Spaces
The Broadmarsh 3m Bench is a versatile outdoor commercial bench developed for everyday use in public environments, manufactured from 'chunky' oak or softwood.
Typical applications include:
- Town centres and high streets
- Public parks and landscaped areas
- Commercial developments and office forecourts
- Education campuses and civic spaces
- Regeneration and placemaking projects
The understated design allows the bench to integrate easily into a wide range of architectural and landscape contexts.
Backless Park Bench Design for Flexible Use
As a park bench with a backless profile, this model supports flexible use and clear circulation. The open design allows users to sit from either side, making it particularly effective in high-footfall environments where movement patterns vary.
Design benefits include:
- Seating accessible from both sides
- A slim, unobtrusive profile
- Easy placement along walkways, edges or open areas
- Suitable for short rests and informal use
This approach supports practical seating provision without visual clutter.
Durable Steel Frame and Timber Seating
The Broadmarsh Bench is constructed with a strong steel frame engineered for long-term outdoor performance. The timber seating surface introduces warmth and comfort while remaining robust enough for frequent public use.
Specification options include:
- Galvanised steel frame for corrosion resistance
- Powder-coated steel in standard RAL colours
- Corten steel for a weathered, architectural finish
- Optional armrests to enhance comfort and accessibility
Fixing options are available with either a 100mm submerged baseplate or a surface-mounted baseplate, allowing secure installation across different ground conditions.
