Qualities that make recycled plastic lumber superior to wood, metal and concrete:

• Will never dry-rot or decay like wood
• Never needs to be sealed or oiled, like teak does.
• Completely waterproof, will never rust like metal
• Available in several colors, all boards are solid & colored throughout
• Non-absorbent, will not promote growth of moss, slime & algae like wood & metal
• Not affected by termites, ants, or any insect infestation
• Colorfast -- never needs painting or sealing
• No spalling, splitting, or checking like wood and concrete eventually do
• Completely splinterproof, will never breakdown like wood does
• Great impact and abrasion resistance
• Workability similar to wood- screws, nail, cuts & routes just like wood
• Can be worked with conventional tools, no special equipment required
• Maintains its clean, new appearance year after year
• Heavier than wood and metal, making it virtually theft-proof
• Environmentally friendly and aesthetically appealing
• Screw pull-out is 2.5 times better than wood
• Virtually 100% maintenance free, requiring only household dish soap when dirty
