We ask all of our customers to send pictures of their projects once they’re done so that we can show you the many ways recycled plastic is being used, and community groups often make for some of the best photographs.

The Platt’s Wood Project volunteers have really gone the extra mile for their pics though, seemingly timing their expedition for the very worst weather of 2020 so far, just so that their shots can have that ‘Arctic Explorer’ vibe.

A Word From The Expedition Leader

Cari Holmes of the Platt’s Wood Project sent us this message:

“We bought 5 of your benches last year for our community project The Platt’s Wood Project in Hayfield, Derbyshire and last week we put up the last one with the help of a group of volunteers, and we thought you might like to see.”

She continues: “We love the benches, they are perfect for our needs and look great on site! We had a great time putting them together, and it seemed everyone got a lot from the day.”

The bench in place for many winters to come.

We’re very impressed that this hardy team carried on even as the elements tried to crush them. If the Platts Wood gang’s grand day out has inspired you to think how you might use some maintenance-free, lifetime-guaranteed seating, you can find all of our options here. You can also call 0808 281 2929 or email [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.
