When you order outdoor benches from our factory, one of the most practical questions is: how heavy are they when packed for shipping? The answer depends on the bench model, materials, and packaging method, but here is a clear breakdown.
For our standard commercial-grade outdoor bench, the unpacked weight is typically between 45 and 70 kilograms (99 to 154 pounds), depending on whether it features a steel frame, recycled plastic slats, or FSC-certified hardwood. Once packed for shipping, we add sturdy wooden crates or reinforced cardboard pallet boxes, protective corner guards, foam padding, and heavy-duty strapping. This packaging usually adds 8 to 12 kilograms (18 to 26 pounds) to the total weight.
Therefore, a standard packed outdoor bench from our factory weighs approximately 55 to 82 kilograms (121 to 181 pounds). For our heavy-duty models with thicker steel beams and larger seat panels, the packed weight can reach up to 110 kilograms (242 pounds). Each crate is built to be stackable and forklift-friendly, and we clearly mark the gross weight on the outside for easy freight handling. If you need precise shipping weights for a specific model, we provide a detailed packing list with exact gross weight, net weight, and crate dimensions for every order. This ensures accurate freight quotes and smooth logistics from our factory to your destination.
