That's an excellent question that gets to the heart of why many homeowners and businesses are choosing recycled plastic outdoor furniture. When comparing costs between our recycled plastic benches and traditional wood options, you need to consider both the initial investment and the long-term value.
At first glance, you might find that a high-quality recycled plastic bench has a slightly higher upfront cost compared to a basic pressure-treated pine bench. However, this initial price difference tells only part of the story. Where recycled plastic truly shines is in its dramatically lower lifetime cost.
Unlike wood, our recycled plastic benches require zero maintenance. You'll never need to sand, stain, seal, or paint them. They're completely immune to rotting, splintering, and insect damage. Over 5-10 years, the savings on stains, sealants, replacement parts, and your valuable time quickly add up, often making the plastic bench the more economical choice.
While a wood bench might need replacement in 8-15 years depending on climate and maintenance, our plastic benches are designed to last for decades with their color and structural integrity intact. When you factor in this extended lifespan and eliminated maintenance costs, the value proposition becomes clear: recycled plastic benches aren't just an eco-friendly choice—they're a smart financial investment for lasting outdoor beauty.
