| Several different mounting styles are shown
below. |
Portable Mount
|
 |
| Portable mounts may have surface mount holes in
the legs of the furniture, but if the pieces are not secured with
bolts and anchors, the furniture may be moved anywhere. Furniture
with a tubular understructure has no surface mounting holes.
Portable mount furniture can be placed on any surface. |
Surface Mount
|
 |
Most surface mount fixtures have holes in the
legs of the furniture for bolts to be inserted into anchors embedded
in concrete. When installing, holes must be drilled in concrete
surfaces to embed anchors for the bolts. Furniture with tubular
understructure has discs welded to the understructure which rest
flat on the ground so that bolts and anchors can then be secured
through the discs. Surface mount furniture is placed on a concrete
surface.

In-Ground Mount
|
 |
In-ground mounted furniture resembles surface
mounted fixtures but include "J-rods" inserted through the surface
mount holes or discs on a piece of furniture. The bottom of the
J-rod is then embedded in a hole filled with concrete. When the
concrete cures, the shape of the J-rod ensures the security of the
furniture. Benches that have tubular legs and are in-ground mounted
do not use J-rods. Instead, the understructure ends in approximately
18 extra inches of tubing with a piece of flatbar welded to the
bottom end. A deep hole is then dug and filled with concrete. The
bench is then set in the concrete to cure. In-ground mount furniture
is placed on a grass, gravel or dirt surface.
