Composite Wood Park Bench

WPC Park Benches (Composite Wood Park Bench): Public Facilities Bearing Public Leisure and Urban Ecology 

As the core carrier of urban public leisure spaces, parks require their supporting facility - benches - to balance four core needs: public attribute, durability, ecological compatibility, and functional adaptability. WPC Park Benches (Composite Wood Park Bench) are designed with the concept of "exclusive optimization for public scenarios". Traditional park benches often face problems such as "rapid wear under high-frequency use", "difficulty in meeting the diverse needs of different groups", "inconsistency with park ecological landscapes", and "high maintenance costs", which make it difficult to match the operation and service standards of modern urban parks. They not only cope with the high-frequency use scenarios of parks with high-strength and wear-resistant material properties, but also meet the leisure needs of different groups (the elderly, children, families) through functional design. Moreover, they integrate with park green plants and landscapes with natural texture, while reducing long-term maintenance costs. They have become ideal public facilities that "serve public leisure and contribute to urban ecology", allowing citizens to enjoy a comfortable resting experience in the park while feeling the warmth and quality of urban public spaces.

Major Advantages of the Product

✅ Durable Protection Performance for High-Frequency Public Use Scenarios

Targeting the characteristics of "high daily use frequency and diverse user groups" in parks, Composite Wood Park Bench build a "multi-dimensional durable protection system": the material adopts a "high-density composite process" with a density of 1.2g/cm³, and the surface hardness is 3 times that of ordinary solid wood benches, which can resist scratches and dents caused by daily friction and collision, even if children climb or heavy objects are temporarily placed, there is no damage; "anti-aging and anti-ultraviolet composite factors" are added, so that there is no fading or embrittlement under long-term sun exposure in the park, and the service life can reach more than 25 years, far exceeding that of traditional cast iron or solid wood benches (5-8 years); the surface is covered with a "stain-resistant and wear-resistant coating", and stains such as coffee, juice, and mud can be removed by rinsing with a high-pressure water gun of the park cleaning vehicle, leaving no residual marks. The coating can withstand more than 5000 scrubbings, meeting the regular cleaning needs of the park; the bench legs adopt a "corrosion-resistant alloy + concrete pre-embedded structure", which has no rust when in contact with park soil and rainwater, and the pre-embedded depth is ≥30cm, which can resist artificial shaking or slight impact, ensuring public use safety.

✅ Functional Adaptation Design for Diverse Group Needs

Centering on the leisure needs of different groups in the park, they create "scenario-based functional modules": for the elderly, the armrests are designed as "non-slip and supportive type", with non-slip textures pressed on the surface, and the armrest height is set to 75cm, which is convenient for the elderly to get up and support. At the same time, a "crutch placement slot" (5cm wide and 3cm deep) is reserved on the inner side of the armrest, which can stably place crutches to avoid slipping; for families, a "detachable children's safety guardrail" is designed in the middle of the two-seat bench, with a height of 40cm, which can prevent young children from falling when playing on the bench. After the guardrail is removed, it can be restored to the function of an ordinary two-seat bench; for people who rest and read, some styles are designed with a "foldable book and newspaper rack" at the end of the armrest, which can place books and newspapers after being unfolded, and the bottom of the book and newspaper rack is equipped with "non-slip protrusions" to prevent items from falling due to wind; for people with special needs, 1-2 sets of "barrier-free adaptation models" are configured within every 100 meters. An 80cm wide barrier-free passage is reserved on one side of the bench, and the seat height is adapted to wheelchairs (45cm), facilitating the transfer and seating of people with disabilities and reflecting the inclusiveness of public facilities.

✅ Integration with Park Ecological Landscape and Environmental Protection Characteristics

They are deeply in line with the park ecological theme in terms of appearance and material: the surface texture adopts "simulated natural wood + leaf vein composite texture", which restores the texture of common park trees such as camphor and pine, and at the same time integrates subtle leaf vein patterns to form a visual echo with park green plants, avoiding the visual conflict between traditional metal benches and the natural environment; the color adopts "low-saturation natural color system", such as light wood color, sandstone color, moss green, etc., which presents a soft texture under the park's light and shadow and will not affect the landscape atmosphere due to strong light reflection. In terms of environmental protection characteristics, the raw materials are "70% recycled wood fiber + 25% recycled plastic + 5% plant fiber". The production of 100 sets of standard benches can reduce 1.5 tons of plastic waste and save 0.8 cubic meters of wood; the production process adopts a "zero-pollution extrusion process" with no waste water or waste gas emissions, and the material can be 100% recycled and reused, which is in line with the park's "green ecology" construction concept; in addition, the bottom of the bench body is designed with a "hollow breathable structure", which can guide rainwater to penetrate into the soil around the bench to provide water for park green plants, and at the same time avoid water accumulation at the bottom of the bench to breed mosquitoes, maintaining the park's ecological environment.

✅ Flexible Layout Adapted to Public Space and Low Maintenance Cost

They are designed with a "space adaptation system" for different park areas (lawns, trails, squares, under shade trees): the lawn area adopts the "arc-shaped multi-person model", and the arc design can fit the edge of the lawn to reduce damage to the lawn root system. At the same time, the enclosed layout is suitable for family gatherings and community activities; the trail side adopts the "linear single-person/two-person model" with a length of 80-120cm, which can be arranged continuously along the edge of the trail with a spacing of 50 meters to meet the temporary resting needs of pedestrians; the square area adopts the "combined modular model", which can be spliced through buckles to form a 4-6 person enclosed bench, suitable for group activities. After disassembly, it can be placed separately to flexibly adjust the square space layout. In terms of maintenance cost, "low-intervention and low-cost" operation is realized: no professional maintenance is required daily, and only regular rinsing by park cleaners is needed; the material has no insect infestation or decay problems, and no regular painting of preservatives or insect repellents is required; partial damage (such as loose armrests) can be repaired through "modular replacement" without replacing the entire bench. The maintenance cost of a single set is only 1/5 of that of a traditional solid wood bench, which greatly reduces the park operation cost.

✅ Dual Guarantee of Public Safety and Durability

The safety design of Composite Wood Park Bench meets the high standards of public facilities: all edges and corners of the bench body adopt "R12mm extra-wide rounded corner treatment", which far exceeds the safety standards of ordinary outdoor furniture and prevents children and the elderly from being injured by collision; the formaldehyde emission of the material is ≤0.01mg/m³, which is far lower than the national standard, and can be in direct contact with the skin without irritation, even if children are in contact with it for a long time, it is safe and harmless; the connection between the bench legs and the ground is fixed with "anti-theft screws", and the screw head is of a special irregular design, which requires special tools to disassemble, effectively preventing man-made damage or theft; in addition, the material is added with "flame-retardant factors", and the fire rating reaches B1 level. Even if it encounters cigarette butts, open flames, etc., it will not burn quickly, reducing the fire risk of the park. In terms of durability, it has passed the "public facility durability test" and can withstand 100,000 cycles of loading (50kg/time) without deformation. Moreover, under extreme temperatures of -30℃ to 60℃, the material has no cracking or embrittlement, and is suitable for parks in different climate regions.

Application of More Than Ten Colors

Composite Wood Park Bench have twenty color options, which accurately match different styles of parks and landscape themes: for natural ecological parks (mainly forest and wetland landscapes), light wood color, moss green, and earth yellow can be selected. These colors can be deeply integrated with the natural environment to highlight the ecological atmosphere; for urban leisure parks (mainly squares and trails), sandstone color, light gray, and cream white can be selected, which match the hard landscape of the park to present a simple and modern feeling; for cultural theme parks (focusing on history and folk culture), dark walnut color, dark cyan, and cinnabar red can be selected, which match cultural sculptures and landscape walls to convey a sense of cultural depth; for children's theme parks, bright colors such as sunset orange, mint blue, and lemon yellow can be selected, which match the amusement facilities to create a lively atmosphere. In addition, it supports "theme custom colors", such as designing "pink-white gradient models" for cherry blossom theme parks and "orange-red gradient models" for maple leaf theme parks, making the benches an extension of the park's theme landscape and enhancing the scene experience of tourists.

In terms of ODM services, the design team will conduct original designs based on the park type (such as urban comprehensive parks, community parks, theme parks), climate characteristics, and population structure of the customer's target market: for example, designing "breathable models with sunshades" for parks in tropical regions, where the sunshade can adjust the angle and the bench body adopts a hollow breathable structure to improve the comfort of use in summer; designing "warm models with heated armrests" for parks in cold regions, where the armrests have built-in low-temperature heating plates (temperature controlled at 30℃) to warm the hands during winter use; designing "quick-drying models with waterproof cushions" for parks in rainy regions, where the cushions are made of waterproof fabric and can dry quickly after rainwater slides off to avoid moisture affecting use. During the design process, "park scenario simulation diagrams" are provided, allowing customers to intuitively view the adaptation effect of the benches with the park landscape. At the same time, 1:1 physical sample testing is provided to ensure that the products meet the public facility standards and assist customers in passing the local government procurement compliance certification to help the park construction project land quickly.

Composite Wood Park Bench Installation Steps

✅ Park Scenario Preparation Before Installation

• Site Survey: Determine the installation position according to the park planning drawings and mark the bench type (ordinary model, barrier-free model, children's adaptation model); for the lawn area, it is necessary to clean up weeds and level the ground in advance, dig pre-embedded holes with a depth of 30cm and a diameter of 20cm, and fill in a 10cm thick gravel cushion; for the trail side and square area, confirm the ground flatness (error ≤2mm), and if it is an asphalt or concrete ground, mark the screw fixing points; at the same time, check whether there are underground pipelines (water pipes, cables) around the installation area to avoid damage during installation.
• Tool and Component Inspection: Prepare electric drills, levels, tape measures, wrenches, special tools for anti-theft screws, and concrete mixers (for lawn pre-embedding); unpack and check whether the bench components (bench body, armrests, functional modules, pre-embedded accessories, screw packs, installation instructions) are complete, and check whether there is transportation damage on the surface, especially checking whether the anti-slip texture and rounded corner treatment meet the standards.

✅ Basic Fixed Installation

• Installation in Lawn Area: Put the pre-embedded sleeve into the pre-embedded hole, pour concrete (grade C30), ensure that the sleeve is perpendicular to the ground. After the concrete is cured for 24 hours, align the bench legs with the sleeve, fix them with anti-theft screws, and fix 4 screws for each bench leg; after fixing, calibrate the bench body with a level to ensure no inclination, and at the same time lay 5cm thick pebbles around the bench to avoid mud splashing on the bench body when watering the lawn.
• Installation in Trail/Square Area: Mark the screw fixing points with a tape measure, drill holes on the ground with an electric drill (the hole diameter matches the expansion screw), insert the expansion screw and reserve a height of 5mm; align the bench legs with the expansion screw, tighten the nut with a wrench, and fix 3 screws for each bench leg to ensure that the bench legs are closely attached to the ground without shaking; the barrier-free adaptation model needs to reserve an 80cm wide barrier-free passage on one side, and the passage ground is paved with anti-slip floor tiles.

✅ Assembly of Functional Modules

• Installation of Special Functional Modules: Install the crutch placement slot for the elderly model, embed the slot body into the reserved hole of the armrest, fix it with hexagon socket screws, and test the stability of the slot body; install the safety guardrail for the children's model, align the buckles at both ends of the guardrail with the bench body interface, press and clamp them, then fix them with screws for assistance, and test the load-bearing capacity of the guardrail (maximum load-bearing 20kg); unfold the book and newspaper rack for the book and newspaper rack model, fix it with positioning pins, ensure no shaking after unfolding, and the angle of the book and newspaper rack is suitable for reading (15° inclination).
• Inspection of General Components: Install the armrests, align the armrests with the side interfaces of the bench body, fix them with screws, and ensure that the armrest height meets the standard (75cm); check whether the hollow structure at the bottom of the bench body is unobstructed and free of debris blockage to ensure normal rainwater penetration.

✅ Debugging and Acceptance

• Functional and Safety Debugging: Test the convenience of disassembly and installation of the children's guardrail to ensure that parents can operate it easily; simulate the scenario where the elderly get up, check the assistance effect of the armrests to ensure no looseness; test the adaptation of the barrier-free model with wheelchairs to confirm that people with disabilities can transfer and sit smoothly; shake the bench body, armrests, and functional modules to confirm no looseness and stable overall structure.
• Cleaning and Scenario Adaptation Acceptance: Rinse the surface of the bench body with a high-pressure water gun to remove the dust remaining during installation; check the adaptation of the bench to the park landscape, confirm that the color and style are coordinated with the surrounding environment; confirm that the installation position does not block the park's pedestrian flow channel, does not affect the growth of green plants, and meets the barrier-free design specifications. After passing the acceptance, it can be put into use.
