Outdoor Benches & Seating

A seat has a backrest, and a bench does not. Broxap’s range of seating is designed for external use in the UK, so considers weather protection as well as safety and durability. 

Yes. Our experienced Technical Sales team can turn architectural design concepts, customer sketches or visual illustrations into a commercially competitive reality. Please see our Blox Bench images as an example of this.

All metal seats and benches (such as Mild steel, Stainless-steel) as well as All "DURACAST" Polyurethane seating units are best suited to areas of vandalism. 

The nominal sitting height of the seat varies depending on the type of seat. A typical height is around 450mm. Our bench heights typically range from 420mm-520mm. Armrests are helpful for some and should be at a height of about 200mm above the seated level. Seat/bench rests are recommended to have a minimum width of 500mm.

Our Junior Range of seating systems are naturally smaller, making them ideal for use in children’s play areas and schools.

Mobility impaired people may require seating at more frequent intervals. BS 8300‑1:2018 recommends that where seating units are used in pedestrianised areas, such as the open public realm and transport interchanges/stations, seats should be positioned at intervals of no more than 50 metres.

Yes. We have a range of Picnic Tables with extended tabletops to allow for wheelchair access. Please see our Inclusive Picnic Unit range. We can also modify other designs or produce a bespoke solution to your needs. Aisle width (spacing) between tables, and their benches/seats, should be more than 1300mm wide, to allow for the passage of wheelchair users and people who have an assistance dog. Where space is very limited a narrower width of 900mm may be acceptable. 

Yes. We can accommodate reasonable dimensional ‘tweaks’, to modify a seat or bench length. Please specify the length in your enquiry for accurate pricing. 

Yes. Customer defined dedications can be on an engraved onto a stainless steel or brass plaque, which is attached to the seat backrest slat(s). For a truly unique dedication, we can provide the engraving/carving into a slat in the wooden backrest of the seat itself. Incorporating memorial dedications are available within 2-3 weeks for stainless steel plaques, or 3-5 days for slat inscriptions.
