Solid Rock Outdoor Chest Press, Flat Pressing Station for Open Air Installation

The Solid Rock outdoor chest press is the flat pressing station of the outdoor range, working the pectorals, shoulders and triceps in the open air. It is the machine that anchors an outdoor upper body group: the movement is familiar to anyone who has used a gym, it requires no instruction, and it is the station a first time visitor tries before anything else.

The press is built for permanent outdoor installation, with a corrosion resistant finish that protects it from the elements and an ergonomic design that holds the user in a supported pressing position. Resistance is adjustable, which allows the same station to serve a beginner and a trained user, and the guided movement is what makes it safe to use without supervision. It can be installed in a garden, on a terrace or in a public park.

The manufacturer describes a solid stainless steel construction for maximum durability, weather resistant and easy to clean. No grade is published, so for coastal air, chlorinated environments or roads treated with de-icing salt we recommend confirming the material specification with us before ordering, since the difference in service life is significant.

Technical specification

Building the outdoor upper body group

A flat chest press works best as one of three stations rather than on its own: the flat press for the mid chest, an inclined press for the upper chest and shoulders, and a rowing or pulling station to balance the two. Grouped together they read as a training area rather than as scattered equipment, and users complete a session instead of one exercise. Allow clear space in front of the seat for full arm extension and behind it for a second person, and keep the group away from the main circulation route. Anchoring is into a concrete base sized from the equipment drawing and cured before delivery, with a firm free draining surface around it. Because the published data for this station covers its function and construction rather than its dimensions and rated loads, we confirm those against the current manufacturer drawing at quotation stage and include them in a free implantation study.

Frequently asked questions

Can the station be used without supervision?

Yes. The movement is guided and there is nothing to load or secure, which is why the outdoor range is specified for open access municipal and residential sites.

How is the resistance set?

Through the adjustable mechanism and the user’s own effort and tempo, so a beginner and a trained user can share the station without any change of configuration.

What material is the frame and does it suit a coastal site?

The manufacturer states a stainless steel construction but publishes no grade. For coastal, chlorinated or heavily salted locations we confirm the specification before the order is placed, since the material choice governs the service life.
