Installation Recommendations

1. Extended legs for concreting in

As standard, all steel framed seats and benches are supplied with extended legs to concrete them into the ground. This method suits grassed areas, small block paviours and areas which will have a final surface of bituminous macadam. It is a very secure method of fixing, but involves excavating the ground. The assembled seat is accurately positioned into 400mm deep holes which are filled with concrete bedding. This can be laid to the final ground level to form a concrete pad around the seat. If stopped short to allow for other ground finishes, the paviours or macadam are laid around the legs of the seat after the concrete bedding has set.

2. Rawl bolts (K1, K1T, K3, or K3T)

Pedestal base seats can be rawl bolted to an existing surface of sound concrete, or well laid traditional size concrete or stone slabs, using these M10 rawl bolts. This method is not normally suitable for installing seats onto small block paviours. The bolts in these options are stainless steel.

  • K1 and K3 have hex head bolts
  • K1T and K3T have tamper resistant pin-in-socket socket cap head bolts to reduce the risk of unauthorised removal

3. Extended rawl bolts and spacers (K4, K4T, K10, K10T or K12)

For the installation of pedestal base seats onto small block paviours, typically 60mm thick, we recommend either the K4, K4T, K10 or K10T M10 x 180 extended rawl bolts, or K12 M12 x 240 extended rawl bolts, with semi collapsible spacing tubes.

The spacing tubes hold the rawl bolt shell in the concrete (which must be laid beneath the paviours) whilst the bolt is being tightened. It is recommended that the paviours in the area of the seat are bedded on top of the concrete using a semi dry sand cement screed about 20mm thick. These kits are also suitable for fixing seats onto surfaces of bituminous macadam, laid on top of concrete.

The bolts in these options are stainless steel.

  • K4, K10, K12 have hex head bolts
  • K4T, K10T have tamper resistant pin-in-socket socket cap head bolts to reduce the risk of unauthorised removal
3. Galvanised ground fixing extensions(K5, K5C, K5T, K11 K11C or K11T)
