Product Details:
A Park Bench with Backrest for Extended Comfort
The high-backed configuration distinguishes the Pierhead from standard seating options, providing enhanced support for longer dwell times. This makes it particularly appropriate for waterfronts, town centres, and landscaped public areas where users are likely to pause and spend time.
As a park bench with backrest, it supports: • Relaxed seating along promenades • Rest points within large public parks • Waiting areas near transport interchanges • Viewing points overlooking rivers or coastal settings
The armless design allows flexible access while maintaining a clean, uninterrupted seating line.
Materials and Structural Integrity
Cast Iron Frame
The frame is manufactured from durable cast iron, providing a solid structural core capable of withstanding continuous public use. The design balances strength with a streamlined appearance, ensuring it performs reliably in high-footfall environments.
Cast iron remains a preferred material within street furniture seating due to: • Long-term durability • Resistance to impact and vandalism • Compatibility with heritage and contemporary settings • Low maintenance structural performance
Iroko Timber Slats
Twenty iroko hardwood slats form the seat and backrest, creating a generous and supportive timber slatted bench. The use of iroko offers: • Natural resistance to moisture and decay • Dimensional stability in changing weather conditions • A warm, high-quality finish • Long service life with routine care
The substantial number of slats enhances both comfort and visual continuity, effectively cloaking the frame in natural timber.
Installation and Fixing
The Pierhead Seat is supplied with a submerged baseplate, designed to sit approximately 100mm below ground level. This fixing method ensures: • Secure anchoring within prepared concrete foundations • Clean visual lines above ground • Stability in exposed or high-traffic locations
When specifying an outdoor public bench, consideration should be given to sub-base preparation, drainage, and alignment within the wider public realm layout. The Pierhead’s defined footprint and robust fixing method make it suitable for both retrofit and new-build schemes.
Customisation Options
To reflect civic identity or project-specific branding, the Pierhead Seat can be enhanced with: • Highlighted cast detailing • Integrated crests
These options are particularly relevant for local authority installations, commemorative projects, or landmark waterfront developments.
Designed for Contemporary Public Realm Projects
The Pierhead steel and timber bench brings together structural resilience and natural material warmth. Its high back and substantial slatted construction provide a comfortable solution for longer stays, while its clean form ensures it integrates easily into a variety of landscape contexts.
It can be specified alongside complementary street furniture seating such as litter bins, bollards, and cycle parking to create a coordinated public realm scheme.
Manufactured for installation across the UK and Ireland, the Pierhead Seat offers architects, contractors, and local authorities a durable and architecturally confident timber slatted bench for prominent outdoor environments.
