My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anchor Bench to Property?

8 years ago

I'm the chair of my local elementary school's Landscape Committee and we're considering buying some cool benches & stools to put out in front of the school, like those from Frank Gehry:

Is there any way to anchor these into the ground so people couldn't pick them up & take them away? They're rather lightweight (which we love... makes 'em flexible), but I don't know if we're courting disaster by just leaving these out in front of a school.
