Recycled Plastic V’s Timber for Fishing Platforms
Lakes, ponds and wetlands are where our recycled plastic has the strongest edge against traditional timber. Timber is at its most vulnerable to rot when fully-submerged, requiring ever-heavier sections to increase the longevity of a structure. Treated timber lasts a little longer, but can pollute waterways and damage delicate ecosystems. In contrast to timber, our 100% solid, recycled plastic artificial lumber posts, planks and decking boards need no treatment or any other maintenance, will never rot, split or splinter and are safe to submerge fully and permanently.
In addition, all of our products have a 25-year guarantee, so there’ll never be any repairs, refurbishments or replacement required for your fishing platform. Of course, every piece of our durable, weatherproof recycled plastic to be given a useful second life keeps the equivalent weight of waste plastic out of landfill.
Recycled Plastic Anglers Peg
Whether you’re looking to install a new fishing peg at your angling club, build a dipping platform for your school, or create a wetland boardwalk on your nature reserve, our recycled plastic lumber posts, planks and decking boards are the perfect, sustainable choice.
They’ve been used for landing platforms on boating lakes, to replace timber in the refurb of canal lock paddles and numerous fishing pegs have been constructed at angling and fishing clubs up and down the land.
We’ve even worked with the BDAA (British Disabled Angling Association) to design a wheelchair-accessible fishing peg.
Managing YourProject
Please contact our expert support team for further information. We are on hand 5 days a week to help with your project.
Please note that whilst we can provide a lot of guidance, we’re unable to design the structure, interpret drawings, or work from tender specifications. This isn’t to be difficult, but each site has unique considerations that make a “one size fits all” approach impossible.
Factors such as ground conditions, site function, and access requirements vary significantly. If your project involves public access, there are regulations to consider, including handrail or barrier heights, which differ depending on whether the site will be used primarily by pedestrians, cyclists, or wheelchair users.
For wheelchair-accessible structures, you’ll also need to account for passing places and turning circles.
Please contact our friendly support team who will guide you through the steps to purchase.
“The Platforms are now over a year old and are in perfect condition and will last for many years without any foreseeable problems. The 3 acre lake is now full and stocked with fish. The area around the lake is being landscaped with trees and plants and will develop into a nice fishery.”

Recycled Plastic Fishing Pier FAQ’s
Recycled plastic tongue and groove boards outperform timber in almost every way. They won’t rot, warp, crack, or splinter, even in damp or exposed environments. There’s no need for painting, staining, or regular maintenance, and they’re resistant to insects, fungi, and frost. Over time, they offer significant savings in upkeep and replacement costs—plus, they’re made from 100% British waste plastic, helping to reduce environmental impact.
- Consistency: Reclaimed wood often varies in quality and size, whereas plastic lumber is uniform and reliable.
- Durability: Reclaimed wood is prone to rot, warping, and pests, but recycled plastic lumber lasts 50+ years without degradation.
- Maintenance: Reclaimed wood requires regular upkeep, while plastic lumber is virtually maintenance-free.
- Cost: Reclaimed wood can be costly due to sourcing and refinishing, while plastic lumber offers long-term value.
- Availability: Reclaimed wood supplies are limited, but recycled plastic lumber is consistently available in a range of sizes and styles.
For a durable, sustainable, and hassle-free alternative, British recycled plastic lumber is the superior choice over reclaimed wood.
Treated lumber is wood infused with chemicals to resist rot, insects, and decay, often used for outdoor projects. However, it has significant drawbacks compared to British recycled plastic lumber:
- Maintenance: Treated wood needs regular sealing or painting, while plastic lumber is maintenance-free.
- Environmental Impact: Treated lumber’s chemicals can leach into the soil, while recycled plastic lumber is more eco-friendly and sustainable.
- Durability: Treated wood warps and decays over time, but recycled plastic lumber lasts 50+ years without degrading.
- Cost: Treated wood’s upkeep and replacement make it more expensive long-term, whereas plastic lumber offers lasting value.
- Appearance: Treated wood fades and splits, while plastic lumber retains its colour and texture.
For a durable, low-maintenance, and sustainable choice, British Recycled Plastic lumber outperforms treated wood in every way.
This is unnecessary and not recommended. British Recycled plastic lumber is designed to maintain its coloor and appearance without the need for painting, staining, or sealing. Its durable, UV-resistant surface resists fading, ensuring it looks great for years without additional maintenance
Yes, recycled plastic lumber is comparable in strength to traditional wood, and in many cases, it outperforms wood in durability. Unlike wood, it won’t rot, warp, splinter, or absorb moisture, making it an excellent choice for outdoor and heavy-duty applications. While natural wood may be prone to damage over time, our artifical lumber maintains its structural integrity even under harsh conditions, offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative. For projects requiring a reliable, sustainable material, British Recycled Plastic lumber is a strong and eco-friendly solution.
We would strongly recommend using stainless steel bolts and screws for any recycled plastic structure, whether boardwalks, platforms or anything else, otherwise the fixings will need replacing long before the planks, rails and posts
It is difficult and can be frustrating. We always advise drilling a pilot hole.
Yes, we can cut your material to your specified sizes for a small charge (see price list).
We strongly recommend using 100x100mm posts (RPL005) spaced at a maximum of 1.5 metres apart, centre to centre.
In many scenarios, recycled plastic lumber can be worked like hardwood, however it is worth noting that it should never be cut lengthwise. This is to do with differing tensions between the “skin” of the recycled plastic and the inside. Nor should deep notches over 50% of the width of the plank be cut into it. Cutting a notch into a lumber plank weakens it as would be the case with timber. Therefore if notched planks are integral to your design, we suggest this is only as part of a finished product which remains static, ie. not something which is regularly moved or dismantled.
It can be cut and drilled like hardwood, but please be aware that this means you will go through blades and drill bits more quickly than if you were working with treated pine.
You will need to do your own workings out based on what you need using our price and product list for the sizes. Having said that, our team are available to offer lots of advice to help you make the move from wood to recycled plastic.
