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 and Platforms: Long-Lasting and Maintenance-Free
Fishing pegs are exposed to some of the harshest conditions, constantly subjected to water, mud, and changing weather. Traditional wooden platforms will rot, warp, and become unsafe over time, requiring frequent replacements or repairs. Recycled plastic fishing platforms offer a far superior alternative. Designed to withstand permanent submersion in water, our UK Sustainable Outdoor Furniture for Angling clubs are entirely rot-proof, resistant to algae and mould, and provide a non-slip surface—a critical safety feature for anglers in wet conditions.
For example, 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. The material’s drainage properties allow water to run off quickly, reducing the risk of slips without the need for chicken wire or regular jet washing. You can watch a case study video of this success below.
Similarly, Southport Fly Fishing Club used recycled plastic for the top of platforms that blend into the natural landscape, thanks to the aesthetic similarity of the material to wood. As they were building their lake from scratch, this was particularly important. These platforms have held up perfectly, with no maintenance required after years of constant use. For any angling club looking to improve its facilities, recycled plastic pegs and platforms are a smart, long-term investment.
British Disabled Angling Association Design Guides
Over the course of many decades, angling has become popular with disabled users and more and more thought has been put into designing fishing platforms that, in particular, are wheelchair accessible. The BDAA, (The British Disabled Angling Association), has published a series of downloadable design guides that can and do get used with recycled plastic as the construction material.
Accessibility for all users is very important to us, so when you design fishing pegs for your club’s future made from incredibly long lasting British recycled plastic, we’d strongly recommend that you download some of these designs to ensure that water, and the fish, can be enjoyed by everyone.
Accessible Pathways with Hebden Grids
Inclusivity is important in angling, and many clubs are investing in making their facilities accessible to all. 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. They’re also ideal for creating parking areas that don’t require planning permission, thanks to their environmentally friendly design that allows water to drain naturally.
Hebden grids have already been used in projects designed by the British Disabled Angling Association (BDAA) for recycled plastic accessible fishing pegs. Their ease of installation and durability make them perfect for creating inclusive access routes to fishing spots, ensuring that everyone, regardless of mobility, can enjoy the sport.
Recycled Plastic Lumber for Fencing
Maintaining the boundaries around fishing waters is another key responsibility for angling clubs, and using recycled plastic lumber for fencing is an effective solution. Traditional wood fencing often deteriorates in wet conditions, leading to frequent repairs and ongoing maintenance costs. In contrast, recycled plastic lumber is rot-proof, insect-resistant, and requires no treatments like painting or varnishing, making it a cost-effective option over time.
Recycled plastic fencing also offers an aesthetic advantage, as it can blend seamlessly into natural surroundings while providing long-term protection against the elements. It’s an ideal choice for defining fishing areas, protecting wildlife habitats, or securing club property.
Designed for both functionality and aesthetics, British Recycled Plastic planters serve multiple purposes.
Whether you want to improve safety, create welcoming green spaces, or reduce your carbon footprint, these planters are the smart choice for environmentally conscious planners, estates managers, and savvy gardeners alike.
Our Marsden Modular Plastic Planter Range offers true flexibility, with three shape options in a range of sizes: square, rectangular, and L-shaped. They also come in different heights, allowing you to create completely customised planter layouts to suit any space.
With the addition of lids and seat options, our versatile planters can be combined to form unique community spaces known as Parklets.
