What happens to all the milk jugs that have been recycled throughout the years? In 1990, in a garage in Northern Indiana, an innovative idea was taking shape. High school friends noted the high performance potential of plastic and its use in outdoor applications. Over time, this plastic lumber, known as Poly~Wood, has proved to be unaffected by the sun, rain, snow, sleet, wind, saltwater, chlorine and mildew. The very nature of this material keeps the color from fading and is heavy duty so it isn't blown around by the slightest breeze. It is assembled using stainless steel hardware. Poly~Wood is nonporous, so the furniture can be left outside year round, no matter the climate. Regular, easy maintenance with soap and water keeps it clean and enjoyable for countless seasons.
