A 5m Long Bench for High-Capacity Public Seating
The Broadmarsh Long Seat is a long outdoor bench specifically designed for locations where generous seating provision is required without compromising on comfort or visual quality. At 5 metres in length, it provides ample space for multiple users, making it well suited to busy public realm settings.
Typical applications include:
- Town squares and civic plazas
- Transport interchanges and concourses
- Commercial developments and office forecourts
- Education campuses and public courtyards
- Regeneration and placemaking projects
Its extended format supports social use while maintaining clear circulation around the seating.
Dual Backrest Design for Enhanced Comfort
A defining feature of this Broadmarsh seat is its pair of integrated backrests, positioned to support seating on both sides of the bench. This configuration increases comfort and flexibility, allowing users to sit facing different directions.
Design benefits include:
- Two backrests providing support from either side
- Increased seating versatility within a single footprint
- Comfortable seating for longer dwell times
- A balanced, symmetrical form suited to open spaces
This makes the bench particularly effective in central locations where people approach from multiple directions.
Robust Steel and Timber Construction
The bench is supported by a strong steel frame designed for long-term performance in exposed outdoor environments. Optional steel armrests can be specified to enhance comfort and accessibility.
Available frame and armrest finishes include:
- Hot-dip galvanised steel for corrosion resistance
- Powder-coated steel in standard RAL colours
- Corten steel for a weathered, architectural finish
The seating surfaces are manufactured from hardwood timber (Oak), sourced from sustainable supplies and selected for durability and comfort.
Please note: FSC®-certified timber is currently unavailable for this product.
