Frequently Asked Questions

All of our Built-to-Last outdoor furniture is built using 100% recycled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Lumber that is solid color throughout with UV-inhibited pigments. The HDPE material is resistant to corrosive substances, oil, fuels, fungi, insects, and salt spray. It does not absorb moisture and will not rot, splinter, become chalky, or crack.

All Built-to-Last outdoor furniture contains UV-inhibited pigments that will reduce the chance of fading.

All hardware in Built-to-Last furniture is assembled using Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel material to prevent rusting due to the harshest conditions such as salt air.

For example, a Built-to-Last Adirondack chair weighs 60 lbs. This is due to the use of 2×4 and 2×6 sized commercial grade High Density Polyethylene in the construction of our furniture. Many of our coastal clients appreciate this difference, as our furniture withstands movement from wind.
