For areas where people may stay for a few moments while waiting for the next bus or train, a perch bench makes excellent sense. These slimline benches are designed to take up as little floor space as possible and are positioned at a height that allows people to rest against it rather than sit down. These cost-effective benches are perfect for bus shelters and smoking shelters, where their ease of installation makes them ideal for retrofitting.

Perch benches (also known as stand up benches, standing benches or leaning rails) are designed for use in areas where pedestrians might want a quick rest or a temporary seat. These “leaning benches” allow users to lean against the seat in an upright, standing position and are a perfect example of short-term, space efficient public seating.
They are often installed in densely populated urban areas, in public spaces like waiting areas, and in conjunction with other items of street furniture, such as bus shelters and smoking shelters, to maximise sitting space efficiency.
Perch Seats are a crucial piece of street furniture in areas of high footfall, areas with limited space, or areas in which pedestrians want to sit or rest but are discouraged from doing so for long periods.
Our perch benches are designed with durability in mind and are vandalism resistant. Mostly made of steel with different finishes, perch benches are guaranteed to remain a fixed feature of your public space for a long time to come.
We have a wide, varied range of choices from different bench collections, which ensures a style that will look great in any space, especially yours!
Our perch benches are made from long-lasting, hard-wearing materials to ensure a long life in areas with even the heaviest foot traffic. Frames are usually made from zinc primed and painted steel tubing up to 80mm thick. This being said, there is the option to upgrade this to a galvanised (and painted) steel finish. We would strongly suggest this upgrade if your bench is going in a high-use area or if it will be located in an area with high salinity air (within 5 miles of the coast). Seats are made from our most resistant materials to ensure a long-life product: zinc primed steel (painted in your choice of RAL colour) like the Oslo perch bench, galvanised steel (also painted to your preference) or stainless steel like the Haddon perch bench.
Wooden perch benches are relatively rare, and currently, we only stock one of them. The modular Kube Steel & Wood Perch Bench by Procity is extremely modular within its own collection (Kube Collection) but looks great coupled with any item of street furniture.
The installation of perch benches can vary depending on your requirements:
The bench is either bolted down or directly concreted into the floor using its legs.
The bench may not have legs and is bolted (or even concreted) directly into a wall, saving more space.
Bolted directly into the ground using bolts and metal base plates. This is a good option if the bench will have to be moved.
A trench is dug to allow for legs to be directly concreted into the ground. This is a better option if the bench must be installed in an area with soft ground.
Most of our perch benches are available in both bolt-down and concrete in formats. Depending on your mounting preference, one installation method may be more pertinent for your specific situation than the other.
