Question 1

What is the material used to make the furniture?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How do I store it?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How do I clean it?

Accepted Answer

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 1500 psi on a fan setting is recommended for white pieces – please note, the wand needs to be at least 14″ 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.

Question 4

How do I clean my cushions?

Accepted Answer

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. For liquid spills, blot with a clean dry cloth and spray on a mild cleaning solution of soap and water.

Question 5

How can it be sturdy and comfortable?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What type of hardware is used?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Is the furniture made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are proud to say that all of our furniture is Minnesota Made and Manufactured in the USA, as well as our proprietary plastic lumber used to manufacture our full product line. Made in the U.S.A.

Question 8

What is your warranty?

Accepted Answer

Just like any product it will at some point reach its life span, but we haven’t seen it yet. We have had products in all climates for 25 years and they’re still going strong.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.

Question 11

Can the furniture be painted or stained?

Accepted Answer

No, the material is non-porous and doesn’t absorb moisture, so stain or paint will not penetrate the surface. You may add colored cushions, pillows or planters to change the look.

Question 12

How will my order ship if I'm not in your delivery area?

Accepted Answer

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. The carrier will drop your packages without a signature to an area on your property that’s easily accessible for the driver. Larger orders may be shipped on a pallet via Common Carrier and may require an appointment for delivery.

Question 13

Does the color fade?

Accepted Answer

Unlike most other plastics, the material used to fabricate the furniture is considered colorfast. The color runs throughout each piece and has a UV-Stabilizer incorporated into the material to minimize the occurrence of discoloration. Allowing you to add to your collection year after year worry free.

Question 14

What is the difference between swivel and swivel-flex?

Accepted Answer

On our Swivel chair, the seat rotates 360 degrees. On our newly upgraded Swivel-Flex chair, the seat will rotate 360° and gently bounce or “flex” back and forth.

Question 15

Are additional cushions and/or umbrellas available?

Accepted Answer

All of our pieces are manufactured to industry standard dimensions and will accommodate virtually any cushion available at retail stores. There are 2 sizes of umbrellas sold in the U.S.-Commercial and Residential. The 122” table is fit for the 2” commercial umbrella, the rest are the standard 1-5/8″ holes for the residential umbrella that measures 1-1/2” in diameter. We have the tooling to cut holes in our table tops for either size. (Commercial umbrellas are normally only available through Bar Supply Companies and not generally sold in retail stores.)
