Our Material Selection

The versatility of plastics makes them an ideal solution for replacing metals and woods that rust, warp, and generally degrade over time.

Plastics are used in a large variety of applications within the recreational industry, from exercise and sports equipment to outdoor products for hunting, fishing, skating, and boating. UV stability and ease of cleaning and fabrication make plastics a perfect choice for modular playground systems, ice rinks, skate parks, and more.
