| ĂÂ How big is the bench and how much does it weigh? The bench dimensions are: Height - 50 cm The bench dimensions are in line with those of standard street benches, allowing four people to sit on the bench simultaneously. The height of the bench is designed to improve comfort, reduce the need for a back support and therefore allow better solar charging. How is the bench installed? It is quick and easy to install Steora. First, we need a solid foundation such as concrete, asphalt or stone with no cables or pipes running through it. Next, two holes are drilled into the floor and rawl plugs are inserted. Bolts are then inserted from inside the bench and screwed into place. The mobile Internet SIM card is then inserted into internet USB stick and the bench is locked, ensuring the bolts and inner electronics cannot be tampered with. Contact Info #InClude d.o.o.
