Yes, our outdoor bench factory specializes in designing and manufacturing boardwalk benches equipped with a center armrest specifically to discourage lying down. This feature is a practical solution for public spaces such as boardwalks, parks, transit stops, and commercial plazas where seating should primarily serve sitting, not reclining or sleeping. The center armrest acts as a physical barrier that breaks the flat surface area, making it uncomfortable for individuals to lie across the bench. Our engineering team has carefully calibrated the armrest’s height, width, and material to ensure it does not compromise comfort for regular seated users—it provides a natural handrest and divides the seating space into two defined sections. We use weather-resistant materials like powder-coated steel or recycled HDPE lumber to withstand coastal humidity, salt spray, and heavy public use, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance. Additionally, we offer customization options for the armrest style—straight, curved, or with a slight tilt—to match your boardwalk’s aesthetic while retaining its utilitarian purpose. For municipalities or property managers concerned about loitering or unauthorized sleeping, this bench is a cost-effective, non-aggressive way to enforce intended usage. We can also integrate features like graffiti-resistant coating or ADA-compliant dimensions upon request. To evaluate a sample or discuss bulk orders for your boardwalk project, please contact our factory directly. We provide detailed CAD drawings, load-test certifications, and a five-year warranty on all center-armrest models.
