NORDESCO Wide Plastic Bench 9ft - Sand

The Nordesco Wide Plastic Bench 9ft - Sand is an extended-run, commercial-grade freestanding bench engineered with an expanded seating depth for high-capacity facilities requiring superior stability, gear staging capacity, and warm earth-tone finishes. Spanning 108 inches with a broad 17-to-20-inch seating surface, it provides high-density multi-patron seating for expansive natatoriums, varsity fieldhouses, aquatic wellness centers, and wide locker room thoroughfares.

Functional Overview & Materials

Built for rigorous commercial use and continuous resistance to corrosive natatorium conditions:

• Polypropylene Slat Platform (Sand): Fabricated from heavy-duty, UV-stabilized virgin thermoplastic slats in an integral "Sand" (warm tan/beige) tone. Chemically inert and non-porous, the platform resists chloramine vapors, chlorinated water, body oils, and concentrated sanitizers without warping, chipping, rotting, or harboring bacteria.

• Expanded Wide Profile: Features an enlarged seat depth (approximately 17 to 20 inches) compared to the standard 12-to-14-inch narrow profile, delivering improved seated comfort, broad footprint stability against tipping, and generous space for large athletic bags and swim gear.

• Rapid Drainage & Airflow: Longitudinal drainage channels allow shower runoff, pool splash-out, and washdown spray to drain immediately through to the deck drains below, eliminating standing water puddles and speeding air drying for barefoot patrons.

• Five-Pedestal Understructure: Supported by five structural upright pedestal frames fabricated from reinforced structural polymer or passivated stainless steel hardware. This dense multi-post layout eliminates long-span center deflection under dynamic multi-occupant loads across the 108-inch run.

• Deck Surface Protection: Outfitted with non-marking, chemical-resistant rubber/urethane leveling feet that protect wet tile, plaster, epoxy, and acrylic deck coatings from abrasion, scuffing, or gouging.
