Our Furniture Materials
Outdoor furniture must endure sun exposure, rain, and other environmental factors. Therefore, picking the right materials is very important.

What is HDPE Outdoor Poly Furniture Material Made From?
HDPE outdoor poly furniture material is made from high–density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic lumber. This type of plastic lumber is made from recycled milk jugs, detergent bottles, and other post–consumer plastics. It is a durable and environmentally friendly material that can be used to make outdoor furniture for patios, decks, and other outdoor spaces.

What is HDPE?
High–density polyethylene (HDPE) is a type of thermoplastic polymer that has a high strength–to–density ratio. It is lightweight yet strong and resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for outdoor furniture. HDPE also has excellent weather resistance and UV protection properties, making it an ideal choice for patio furniture that will be exposed to the elements.

Colors of HDPE Material
HDPE outdoor poly furniture material comes in a variety of colors including white, black, gray, brown, green, blue, yellow, orange, red and more. The color runs all the way through the material so it won’t fade or chip over time. The colors are also UV stabilized so they won’t fade in direct sunlight.

How Much of the Poly Plastic Lumber is Recycled?
The majority of the HDPE plastic lumber used to make outdoor poly furniture is recycled from post–consumer sources such as milk jugs and detergent bottles. This helps reduce waste in landfills while providing an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wood patio furniture materials. Our HDPE lumber is 99% recycled.

Recycling Process for the HDPE Lumber
The recycling process for HDPE plastic lumber begins with sorting and cleaning the post–consumer plastics before they are melted down into pellets or chips. These pellets or chips are then heated until they become molten liquid which can be molded into any shape desired for outdoor furniture pieces such as chairs, tables, benches and more. Once cooled down these pieces are ready to be assembled into complete patio sets or individual pieces of furniture depending on what you need for your space.

Does HDPE Material Contain Wood or Natural Fibers?
No – HDPE plastic lumber does not contain any wood or natural fibers like traditional wood patio furniture materials do. This makes it an ideal choice for those who want a durable yet eco–friendly option when choosing their outdoor patio furniture material since there are no trees being cut down in order to make this type of product.

Does the Color of Poly Lumber Run All the Way Through the Material?
Yes – The color runs all the way through the material so it won’t fade or chip over time like some other types of patio furniture materials can do when exposed to direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions such as rain or snowfall. This makes it an ideal choice if you want your outdoor space to look great year after year without having to worry about replacing your patio set due to fading colors or chipping paint finishes on traditional wood materials over time.

Does HDPE Material Fade?
No! The colors used in HDPE plastic lumber are UV stabilized so they won’t fade in direct sunlight like some other types of patio furniture materials can do over time when exposed to harsh weather conditions such as rain or snowfall. This makes it an ideal choice if you want your outdoor space to look great year after year without having to worry about replacing your patio set due to fading colors on traditional wood materials over time due exposure from direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions such as rain or snowfall,

Can HDPE Material Be Sanded?
Yes! You can sand down any rough edges on your poly lumber pieces if needed using fine grit sandpaper in order to get a smooth finish on your pieces before assembling them together into complete sets for your outdoor space . This will help ensure that all edges fit together properly when assembling them together into complete sets for your outdoor space .

HDPE Lumber
Our lumber is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a durable, recyclable, environmentally friendly plastic widely used to make milk jugs, laundry detergent containers, bottle caps, etc. We currently recycle a large number ocean-bound and landfill-bound plastic containers per day and transform them into genuine HDPE lumber. HDPE, by nature, is an extremely durable plastic that is weather-resistant and easy to clean — perfect for outdoor furniture. In addition to HDPE, Our lumber includes UV-inhibited pigment systems to help maintain our lumber colors throughout the material, not just on the surface.
