High-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material known for its strength and durability (as well as its ability to be recycled from environmentally friendly components), has a long list of applications on its résumé. Among the options are geothermal pipe systems, swimming pool linings, and wood-plastic composites. In the Lowcountry, HDPE is a prime choice for furniture fabrication because it is maintenance free and impervious to salt and sun. Amish built and Charleston- weather approved, this particular sample—assembled with 304 stainless-steel bearings for extra sturdiness—adds elegance and style to any outdoor living space and provides comfortable seating for a relaxing day by the pool.
