Home Decor
We often talk about the benefits of using plastic lumber for outdoor structures, but the reality is that it’s a great choice for indoor projects as well!Â
Coasters or Trivets
Boards can be cut thin, sanded, and shaped to make coasters that are completely waterproof!
Key Hooks or Wall Organizers
Use leftover boards to design custom key holders or dog leash racks.
Picture Frames
Looking to create picture or painting frames? Instead of buying and staining wood, use HDPE lumber! The pigment used when the lumber is formed is throughout the board, ensuring you won’t have to paint or stain it even when cut.Â
