Securing a park bench using our
low cost anchors.
Park benches and other street furniture are generally secured to the
ground, both for safety and to avoid theft. The Groundbolt Erdanker®
and JF range of ground anchors provide a very cost effective means of
achieving this without using concrete.
Securing benches using Erdanker anchors
Typical methods include bringing the bench into place, hammering or
pushing anchors in either side, quite close to the bench and in the
ground just enough to prevent them falling over, moving the bench away
and screwing or hammering the anchors in close to ground level,
bringing the bench back and screwing the fittings on. No special tools
are needed, the average job takes around 15 mins from start to finish
and can be carried out in any weather conditions.
Securing benches using JF type anchors
For temporary security, eg at 2 or 3 day trade shows, the Erdanker® JF
anchors are ideal. The brackets are permanently fitted to the bench and
the anchor hammered through when needed. Removal is by unscrewing the
anchor.
The simplest method is to use a wooden spacer and no bracket,
as below.
