The Medway Bench has been developed for specifiers seeking reliable steel framed seating that performs in high-footfall settings. Its bold side profile and balanced proportions make it appropriate for both contemporary and heritage-adjacent schemes where robust outdoor seating is required.
Common applications include:
• Town centres and pedestrianised high streets
• Public parks and landscaped gardens
• Retail and leisure developments
• Transport interchanges and waiting areas
• Education campuses and civic spaces
This versatility makes the Medway Bench a practical choice for long-term urban investment.
At the core of the Medway Bench is a galvanised steel frame, engineered to provide excellent resistance to corrosion and everyday wear. This makes it suitable for year-round external use across the UK and Ireland, including exposed or coastal locations.
Key structural benefits include:
• Strong steel frame for stability in busy environments
• Galvanised protection against rust and weathering
• Optional colour finishes to align with wider streetscape palettes
The result is a steel bench designed for longevity with minimal maintenance requirements.
The Medway Bench incorporates seven timber slats, offering a comfortable seating surface while introducing natural texture into the public realm.
Timber options include:
• FSC® treated softwood for sustainable, cost-effective specification
• Hardwood for enhanced durability and premium appearance
Timber remains an ideal material for outdoor seating, particularly where comfort and reduced heat retention are important for longer dwell times.
Designed for extended use, the Medway Bench includes both a supportive backrest and steel armrests, helping define seating positions and improving accessibility.
These features provide:
• Improved comfort for longer sitting periods
• Assistance for users sitting down or standing up
• Clear seat separation in busy public settings
This makes the Medway Bench suitable for inclusive design approaches in shared outdoor environments.
The Medway Galvanised Steel Bench is proportioned for practical capacity and consistent streetscape integration:
• Length: 1800mm
• Width: 593mm
• Height: 820mm
• Weight: 52kg
Its size makes it suitable for standalone placement or coordinated seating layouts across wider schemes.
To meet varying site and project requirements, the Medway Bench can be supplied with a choice of fixing methods and finishes.
Available options include:
• Alternative fixing types for secure installation
• Frame finish and colour selections
• Timber specification upgrades to suit design intent
This flexibility supports both standard public realm projects and bespoke landscape-led schemes.
The Medway Bench is often specified as part of a wider street furniture package. It can be paired with complementary products such as:
• Litter bins and recycling units
• Tree planters and urban greening features
• Bollards and pedestrian barriers
• Cycle stands and shelters
This helps create a cohesive and durable outdoor environment for local authorities, architects, and contractors.
With its galvanised steel frame, comfortable timber slats, and supportive back and armrests, the Medway Bench offers a refined yet robust solution for public outdoor seating. It is designed to withstand heavy use while maintaining an understated, professional presence within the built environment.
