PRODUCT DURABILITY

The Key Ingredient in the Success of our Product is MATERIAL.
Made from a Revolutionary Polymer Developed by the U.S. AeroSpace
Industry for it's Impact Resistance, and unique ability to "BEND & FOLD"
over 1000's of cycles without failure.

 

We use custom blended

POLYPROPYLENE CO-POLYMER
Protected with UV Stabilizers
for years of outdoor use.

The Manufacturing proccess
Includes multi-stage hinge forming.


Computer-controlled CNC
milling/tooling and thermal assisted
"pre-stress" for added strength.
