Installing site furniture is more than just placing objects in an outdoor space; it’s about creating an environment that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Whether it’s a serene park, a bustling plaza, or an urban streetscape, the right furniture can significantly enhance the overall experience. At Envision Outdoor Solutions, we understand the importance of a well-executed installation process. Here, we address some of the most common installation questions and provide expert tips to ensure your project’s success.
Installing on Different Surfaces
One of the frequent questions we encounter is how to install furniture on various surfaces, such as pavers. The key is to use a footer or pad underneath the furniture and ensure that the anchors are long enough to secure the piece effectively. When drilling, avoid the edges to prevent cracking. For installations on surfaces like concrete, our benches and planters come with detailed guidelines to ensure stability and longevity.
Preparing for Direct Burial Installations
For direct burial installations, especially when the product is not yet on-site, using a Sonotube concrete form is advisable. This method earmarks the site, allowing you to pour concrete around it and prepare for the product’s arrival. Our team at Envision Outdoor Solutions can provide the necessary measurements and resources to ensure a seamless installation.
Fastening Hardware and Security
Another common query is whether fastening hardware or anchors are supplied with our products. Due to the variance in site substrates and the length needed, we recommend sourcing hardware from a local supplier. However, for installations where security is a concern, such as our bike racks, tamper-proof fasteners are available to enhance safety and prevent theft.
Assembly Requirements
The assembly requirements for site furniture can vary. Many of our products, including waste receptacles and modular seating, arrive fully assembled. However, some items may require assembly on-site. We provide detailed instructions to ensure correct assembly, and our support team is always ready to assist with any queries.
Protecting Product Finish
An essential tip for maintaining the warranty and ensuring the resilience of outdoor furniture is to protect the product finish during installation. Avoid dragging the furniture across rough surfaces; instead, lift and place the items carefully. This practice is crucial for products like our picnic tables, which have a finish that contributes to their aesthetic and durability.
Unloading and Handling
Some larger products may require special handling during unloading, such as a forklift. We advise our clients on the necessary preparations for a smooth delivery process. Ensuring you have the right equipment on-site to safely unload and handle the furniture is crucial for a successful installation.
Ongoing Support and Resources
At Envision Outdoor Solutions, we are committed to supporting our clients throughout the installation process. Our website offers a wealth of resources, including installation guides and FAQs. For any unique project requirements or questions, our team is always ready to provide personalized assistance.
Proper installation of site furniture is crucial for the functionality and aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces. By following these expert tips and utilizing the resources available at Envision Outdoor Solutions, you can ensure that your site furniture installation is successful, secure, and visually pleasing. Remember, a well-installed piece of furniture not only enhances the space it occupies but also stands the test of time, offering lasting value to any outdoor setting.
