HDPE in a nutshell basically refers to a type of material that is categorized as a thermoplastic polymer. It is mainly made

from petroleum.

It is considered one of the most versatile types of plastic materials out there and has been quite known for its tensile 

strength, high-density ratio, strong resistance to impact; and even its extremely high melting point.

The evolution of HDPE has been quite interesting. For starters, it hasn’t always been in the outdoor furniture scene. 

This material has actually started off as bottles for various grocery items such as milk, water, juices, cleansing products;  

and so much more.

Its transition to outdoor furniture isn’t completely surprising though as we’re constantly looking for ways to innovate 

and get better products that can withstand the elements.

One downside to using garden furniture is that it gets rained on or dried out in the sun or slushed up when it snows.

Traditional materials such as wood or metal either rot or erode and it can be costly or it might not retain its original 

look for a prolonged period of time.

This is where HDPE outdoor furniture comes in. It’s easy to clean and it doesn’t require too much maintenance. It 

 can be left out to brave the elements and enjoy whenever the family wants to hang out on a good day.

It is also something that’s very lightweight. Transporting it is easy and you don’t need a lot of labor around. In essence, 

it's actually a type of plastic.

Before you look down on it though, there are some real merits to HDPE being used as outdoor furniture. It is very 

cost-efficient to mass produce. Its main material is naturally tough and resistant to moisture, it is easy to form and process,

and it has the required strength from basic furniture material.
