Since you are saying “benches” and not “bench,” is there a way to clamp one bench to the other and have someone have a seat on the second bench for mass? If there is a jack pole / support pole in the basement, that might work. If there is a rough door opening someplace, you might be able to grab on with a hand screw style clamp, perhaps with some spacers to not hit the casing, and then go from there. For example, once the hand screw is on the door frame, you could clamp a scrap of 2×4 to the hand screw and then the bench to that. You’re going to but at least a bit of stress on this, so think about consequences for the wall sheathing. Do you have a porch / patio with a rail and a strong, accessible newel post? You could grab that with a hand screw. Find a neighbor with a fence.
Keep thinking….you’ll find something.
