Many property managers and homeowners ask us: "How high are your outdoor benches off the ground so I can sweep underneath without moving them?" It's a practical concern, and at our factory, we take it seriously. After years of testing and customer feedback, we have standardized our bench designs with a ground clearance of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) from the bottom of the seat support beams to the ground. This specific height achieves two goals: it prevents small balls, leaves, and litter from becoming permanently lodged underneath, yet remains low enough to maintain a stable, solid seating experience. We do not use solid base plates that trap dirt. Instead, our benches feature a frame-on-legs construction, leaving a clear, unobstructed gap. For our heavy-duty commercial models, we can customize the clearance to 3 inches for maximum stability in high-traffic areas, or up to 8 inches for parks where you need to blow leaves out quickly. However, our standard 5-inch gap is the sweet spot—a broom or a standard push sweeper can enter easily from any side. Remember, the actual clearance may vary slightly depending on the model (wood, metal, or recycled plastic), but our engineering team ensures every new design fits a standard cleaning tool. So yes, you can sweep cleanly, quickly, and without bending too low. We even provide a small angled foot on some models to guide water and debris away, making your maintenance routine even simpler. If you need specific diagrams for your site plan, just contact us for the exact dimensions of your chosen model.
