Product overview
The Rough&Ready Linear benches are modular outdoor linear benches for public spaces and architectural projects. They use 15 cm-high beams available in hardwoods or recycled plastic, fixed to steel supports with the integrated Streetlock® anti-theft system. Beams can be reversed after approximately 10–12 years to extend service life. Two common configurations are Rough&Ready 6 (rectangular supports; linkable to create continuous linear runs) and Rough&Ready 10 (ten beams forming a double-sided seating area).
