RSP:  Recycled Structural Plastic  (Posts, Decks, Structural Supports)

 
bullet

Recycled Structural Plastic, RSP, is a lumber made from reclaimed plastic and an environmentally friendly maintenance-free alternative to pressure treated wood.

bullet

RSP is solid plastic all the way through - 100% recycled material- and is more flexible than wood or steel.  It flexes on impact preventing serious injuries to a child or to the playstructure. 

bullet

RSP is structurally stronger than wood/polymer composites (steel inserts for added structural strength when required-reinforced members are stronger than wood!).

bullet

RSP is nontoxic- will not leach or bleed arsenic, heavy metals or chemicals into water or soil.  And unlike wood, it will not splinter, crack split or shrink.

bullet

RSP is colorfast and fade resistant.  Scratches remove or smooth easily, paint removes with a simple cleanser making it graffiti-resistant.

bullet

RSP is nonporous, immune to termites, never needs painting or treating, is flame, rot and fungus resistant.

bullet

Mechanical properties remain static even when in continuous contact with water, sea air, salt and sand.

bullet

RSP is available in two beautiful, natural colors with molded texture: Tan and Brown.
