Park Benches: Dimensions, Materials and Fixings That Last

September 21, 2026 by Daniel Whitfield
Dimensioned front elevation of a 1800 mm park bench showing a 450 mm seat height, 380 mm back height above the seat, 220 mm armrest height and a side-view inset dimensioning the 430 mm seat depth and 105 degree back rake

Park benches are specified, not shopped for. Seat depth, footing depth and the material you pick decide whether a bench serves ten years or thirty.
