DESCRIPTION:
Plastic lumber shall be manufactured with recycled HDPE. Lumber shall be molded in one piece per specified size. All materials will have UV additives to prevent deterioration of the plastic lumber from exposure to UV light. HDPE will be made up of no less than 95% recycled material; both post industrial and post consumer. Finished plastic lumber will not rot, crack or splinter for a minimum of 50 years. It shall be resistant to termites, marine borers, salt spray, oil, and fungus.
