Why Choose Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture For Your Angling Club?
- Built for life beside the water — recycled plastic fishing pegs, platforms, pathways, benches and ground reinforcement are designed for the wet, demanding conditions found around lakes, rivers and fisheries.
- 25-year guarantee for long-term value — durable construction means fewer repairs and replacements, particularly valuable for clubs managing extensive stretches of bank and multiple fishing points.
- Less maintenance in hard-to-access areas — no painting, staining or preservative treatment is required, reducing the need for regular maintenance visits and helping clubs save volunteer time.
- Weatherproof and water-resistant — recycled plastic will not rot, absorb water, rust or splinter, making it a practical choice for permanently damp ground and exposed waterside locations.
- Tough enough for regular angling use — vandal-resistant construction handles anglers, equipment and frequent foot traffic while providing stable, durable access to fishing spots.
- Supports responsible management of natural sites — made from recycled plastic and recyclable at end of life, these products help angling clubs improve access and facilities without relying on timber that can deteriorate in wet environments.
British Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture for Angling Clubs
Fishing pegs are exposed to some of the harshest conditions, and our recycled plastic offers a far superior alternative to traditional timber.
Designed to withstand permanent submersion in water, our fishing pegs are entirely rot-proof, resistant to algae and mould, and provide a non-slip surface—a critical safety feature for anglers in wet conditions.
British Recycled Plastic’s Hebden grids are an excellent option for creating wheelchair-accessible pathways. These ground reinforcement grids are designed to stabilise soil and gravel, providing a solid, slip-resistant surface that can handle high foot traffic and wheelchairs. Their ease of installation and durability make them perfect for creating inclusive access routes.
Maintaining the boundaries around fishing waters is another key responsibility for angling clubs, and using recycled plastic lumber for fencing is an effective solution.
Recycled plastic fencing also offers an aesthetic advantage, as it can blend seamlessly into natural surroundings while providing long-term protection against the elements.

Recycled Plastic in Action At Angling Clubs
Slipper Bridge Angling Club replaced their decaying wooden platforms with recycled plastic alternatives, and club members reported that the new platforms are far more durable, easier to clean, and much safer underfoot compared to timber and composite.
Southport Fly Fishing Club used recycled plastic for the tops of platforms that blend into the natural landscape, thanks to the aesthetic similarity of the material to wood. These platforms have held up perfectly, with no maintenance required after years of constant use.
A joint venture between Bideford & District Angling Club and the British Disabled Angling Association (BDAA), saw this accessible fishing platform designed especially for anglers with limited mobility.
Over the course of many decades, angling has become popular with disabled users. The BDAA, (The British Disabled Angling Association), has published a series of downloadable design guides to use with recycled plastic as the construction material.
