FAQ
Are your ski chairlift benches real chairlifts or are they replicas?
All of our benches are replicas but are designed to match the apprearance and aesthetic of real chairlifts. Replica benches provide several advantages over salvaged chairlifts such as lower weight, easier transport, and greater flexibility to exactly fit your space and design preferences.
Can I hang my bench or convert it to a swing?
At this time we do not recommend hanging our benches or converting them to swings. We are hoping to have a hanging/swinging version of our benches available for purchase in the near future.
Can I customize my order?
Yes! We can accommodate custom sizes, colors, artwork, ski/snowboard equipment, special mounting requirements, and other design requirements. Depending on current capacity and availability of materials, we may also be able to accommodate large orders, rush orders, or modification requests for high or commercial use. Custom orders may require additional labor and/or materials and may incur additional costs. Contact us for more information.
