Plastic Boards - Recycled Plastic Lumber ProfilesDiscover durable plastic boards made from recycled material for fencing, landscaping, furniture, construction and outdoor projects.
Our recycled plastic boards provide a waterproof, rot-proof and low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber. Available in different sizes and profiles, they can be cut, drilled and shaped using standard tools for use across domestic, commercial, agricultural and public environments.
Our plastic boards provide a durable, versatile and low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber. Manufactured from recycled plastic, they can be used for fencing, landscaping, outdoor furniture, construction, agricultural projects and many other demanding applications.
Plastic lumber can be cut, drilled and shaped using standard woodworking tools, making it suitable for both professional installations and DIY projects. Unlike timber, recycled plastic boards do not absorb water or rot when exposed to wet conditions.
This makes them particularly useful for outdoor environments where wooden boards would require regular maintenance, treatment or eventual replacement.
Traditional timber is vulnerable to moisture, rot, mould and insect damage. It may also require regular painting, staining or preservative treatment to maintain its appearance and performance.
Recycled plastic boards are designed to provide long-term performance with very little ongoing maintenance. They are waterproof, weather-resistant and UV-stabilised, making them suitable for year-round outdoor use throughout the UK.
The principal benefits include:
Plastic boards can be used for many projects that would traditionally require wooden planks. They provide the practicality and familiar shape of timber boards while offering the moisture resistance and durability of solid recycled plastic.
This makes plastic wood particularly useful in exposed or damp environments, including gardens, farms, stable yards, parks and public spaces.
Unlike timber, recycled plastic lumber does not need to be regularly treated to protect it from the weather. Its colour runs throughout the material, helping it retain its appearance without repainting.
The versatility of recycled plastic boards makes them suitable for a wide range of projects, including:

Recycled plastic boards are particularly well suited to fencing because they do not rot when exposed to rain, wet ground or changing weather conditions.
They can be used for garden boundaries, paddock fencing, agricultural enclosures and other outdoor structures. Their solid construction provides a strong alternative to traditional timber boards, while their low-maintenance surface removes the need for repeated preservative treatments.
When used in equestrian and agricultural environments, the boards should be installed with appropriate posts, rails, supports and fixings for the intended load and application.
Plastic lumber can be used throughout gardens and landscaped areas. Common applications include raised beds, planters, path edging, retaining structures, boardwalks and outdoor seating.
Because the boards are waterproof and rot-proof, they are suitable for contact with damp soil and other locations where untreated timber may deteriorate.
Their low-maintenance construction also makes plastic boards useful for commercial landscaping, schools, parks and public spaces where reducing future repair work is important.
Plastic boards provide an excellent base material for outdoor furniture. They can be used to manufacture garden benches, picnic tables, seats and other products intended for long-term outdoor use.
The material does not require the regular staining or painting associated with wooden furniture. Dirt and surface marks can generally be removed as part of routine cleaning, making recycled plastic boards practical for both private and public seating areas.

Plastic boards can be cut, drilled and shaped using standard woodworking or metalworking tools. This allows individual boards to be adapted to the requirements of a project.
However, recycled plastic expands and contracts more than timber or metal when temperatures change. Installations must therefore include appropriate expansion allowances.
When working with plastic boards:
Solid plastic boards can be heavier and more flexible than equivalent timber sections. The correct profile, support spacing and fixing method should always be selected for the intended application.
Recycled plastic boards make productive use of plastic material that can be turned into durable products for construction, landscaping and outdoor environments.
Their long usable life can reduce the need to repeatedly replace rotting wooden boards. They also eliminate the regular use of paints, stains and wood preservatives throughout the life of the installation.
For homeowners, landscapers, contractors, farms, schools and local authorities, recycled plastic lumber provides a practical way to combine durability with the use of recycled material.
