Typical measurements for outdoor seating in public spaces generally fall within a defined range. A common length for these benches is between 4 and 6 feet, comfortably accommodating two to three adults. The seat depth usually ranges from 16 to 20 inches, providing adequate support. The seat height above ground is typically between 16 and 18 inches, facilitating ease of sitting and standing. Backrests, when present, often extend 18 to 24 inches above the seat. These measurements ensure functionality and accessibility for a diverse user group.
Adherence to consistent sizing facilitates efficient manufacturing, installation, and replacement. Standardized measurements contribute to universal accessibility, making these benches usable by a broader spectrum of individuals, including the elderly and those with mobility challenges. Historically, the evolution of these sizes reflects increasing consideration for ergonomics and public usability. Uniformity also aids in landscape design and urban planning, allowing for predictable spacing and harmonious integration within park settings.
