RecycleDesign™ products are shipped KD to reduce shipping and packaging costs. Please
following technical notes are intended to assist in specifying and installing our products;
generally accepted A.I.A. principles and local conditions apply accordingly.
Shipping and Packaging Materials
Recycle Design,LLC uses plastic foam packaging materials to protect parts in shipment. We
reuse foam accumulated in our recycling operation when it is available; otherwise we use
new foam. If you choose to mail the packing foam back to us, we will use it again to pack
parts.
TRIMAX™
Lumber slats are made of TRIMAX™ recycled, high density polyethylene. The product is
composed of 100% recycled HDPE, derived from purified milk bottle waste, combined
with UV-inhibited pigment systems as well as other process additives.
TRIMAX™ is very resistant to corrosion and moisture, and is warranted not to rot,
splinter, crack or peel. No waterproof.ing or staining is required or recommended. The
lumber is made from a single, purified polymer and is manufactured to consistent,
reproducible standards.

Structural Beams
InfinitySeries, VictoriaSeries and some CitySeries benches and seats utilize 2.500" OD or
2.0"ODx .125" aluminum tube for the support structure spanning the two cast aluminum
end frames. The tubes, made from 6061-T6 mill finish material, support three and four
point loading on the 5’0" and 6' 0" models, respectively. Expected bending stresses at both
spans are far exceeded by the 17,000 psi recommendation for these beam sizes.

Powdercoat Finishes
The finishing systems used with RecycleDesign™ products are 100% solids and
contain no volatile organic compounds. The powdercoat resin system is
polyester, a weatherable and durable material suited for exterior use.
Mechanical Fasteners
Standard mechanical supplies are typically a combination of vandal resistant and
conventional stainless steel fasteners. Tools for custom head fasteners are
supplied as necessary. Some aluminum parts are fastened with or to steel parts.
This condition may promote electrolysis and degradation of the metal if not
insulated. Therefore, nylon insulating washers are supplied with the assembly.
Please make sure washers
are installed.
Other Considerations
Specific assembly and installation parameters are available, along with mechanical
drawings, for each RecycleDesign™ product. Custom lengths and planning
options may be available in most RecycleDesign™ furnishings.
