The Pushover Bench Design Project

Materials Plexiglass- visually pleasing, light & modern Steel- heavy so keeps bench grounded Chain- strong & holds bench in place Metal Peg- goes into ground & allows wheel rotate

The pushover bench allows the sitter to easily avoid a wet bottom by simply “pushing” the whole bench over, enabling you to sit on the dry side. Wet bench? No problem!

The double plexiglass pieces let rain pass through while still able to hold the weight of 4-6 people. When thinking about visually pleasing designs we thought it would be a cool effect if it was transparent. Instead of going with breakable glass, we chose the durable but still clear, plexiglass 5 inch gap

The 1inch wide hollow cylinder ensures the that the big cylinder can rotate, its placed underground to mount the bench. 7’ 9” all the way through the base This feature means the bench can with stand wind, rain and snow with out being knocked loose

“I come to the park every Sunday to read, no matter what the weather was the night before. I can always count on this design to provide me a nice dry place to sit!” –Chad Lee, local citizen
