BENCH INSTALLATION - Benches can be easily set up in a few hours by two people. Set the legs up on level ground and place the bottom bench slate in place and fasten the four nuts to the provided bolts. (Don’t fully tighten nuts). Then take the top slate and place it on the back of the bench legs and tighten the two bolts fully. Then tighten the first four nuts installed. Firmly tighten each bolt but don’t over tighten breaking the concrete. This is usually completed in less than one hour.
BENCH PAD – When required two leg pads have been included. Dig out an area 3 feet wide by 6 feet long to a depth of 1 foot. Back fill the hole with 5 inches of sand and pack by walking over. (sand will backfill to 100 % compaction by simply walking over). Place leg pads 48 inches a part and back fill with sand. If a concrete pad is required a local cement contractor may need to be hired.
BENCH LOCATION – most recreation and park departments will have areas set aside for commemorative benches. Many will allow you to choose where your loved one is to be commemorated.
