Approximately 93% is High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which includes the highest percentage of recycled plastic milk & water jugs. The remaining 7% is color concentrate, a foaming agent & UV stabilizer.
The furniture is made to withstand the extremes in any climate. Whether you live in the freezing cold of Minnesota, the dry desert of Arizona, or the saltwater climate of the Florida Keys, our furniture is made to last a lifetime. We do recommend covering your fire table to keep debris out of the fire bowl.
Water will remove most soil. You may use any non-abrasive cleaner, including bleach if you feel it’s necessary to sanitize. Pressure washing, under 1400 psi is recommended for white pieces – please note, the wand needs to be at least 16″ away from your furniture at all times. HDPE material is non-porous and won’t absorb spills that may stain. Please do not use eraser sponges.
In coastal areas with high salt content, it is highly recommended that the furniture and hardware be rinsed with fresh water on a regular basis to prevent salt buildup and prolong the life of your furniture.
All BTY cushions are manufactured with Sunbrella® Fabrics. These are easy to clean and resistant to water and stains. Keep your cushions looking their best by brushing away dirt and debris.

HDPE is a naturally flexible polymer and molds to your body for exceptional comfort; yet, it’s warranted not to crack, break, splinter or peel because it won’t breakdown or become brittle from the sun or cold. It is actually a wood substitute, making it as dense as wood and approximately 20% heavier than cedar – without the maintenance.
All of the screws and fasteners used in manufacturing our products are a high grade of stainless steel with a Xylon coating (plasticized paint) baked on in a color to complement the furniture. We also countersink any hardware on surfaces that might come into contact with your skin to minimize scratching or snagging any clothing. The straps used on our gliders have an encased bearing system to ensure moisture and dust won’t interfere with the smooth glide. The straps are aluminum with a colored, impervious powder coat applied.

Most items ship via UPS, FedEx, or SpeeDee and will take approximately 3 to 6 working days from the time of shipment to delivery. It isn’t necessary to be home when your order arrives.

Larger orders may be shipped on a pallet via Common Carrier and may require an appointment for delivery.

The color runs throughout each piece and has a UV-Stabilizer incorporated into the material to minimize the occurrence of discoloration.
