A buddy bench is a designated seat on a school playground where a child can go when they are feeling left out or looking for someone to play with. A memorial buddy bench adds a personalized plaque to that bench, turning it into a lasting tribute. Schools, PTAs, and families use memorial buddy benches to honor loved ones while building a culture of inclusion and friendship among students.
Memorial plaques are available in sublimated full-color or engraved styles. Customize with a name, message, date, logo, or photo. Plaques are mounted to the bench backrest and built to hold up in all weather conditions without fading or peeling.
Plastisol-coated steel means no exposed metal, no hot surfaces in direct sun, and no sharp edges. The coating meets worldwide playground safety standards. Unlike recycled plastic buddy benches, plastisol-coated steel will not sag, warp, or fade over time, and it is backed by a 20-year warranty.
Available in 6′ and 8′ lengths in 12 standard colors so schools can match their school colors or create a design that stands out. Free standing, surface mount, and in-ground mounting options.
