Our Material: Premium Tangent Poly Lumber

At Mid-Illini Outdoor Living, we build our outdoor furniture using premium poly lumber from Tangent, one of the leading names in recycled plastic lumber.

Poly lumber is a strong, weather-resistant alternative to traditional wood. It gives you the look and feel of outdoor furniture without the constant upkeep that wood requires.

Built for Outdoor Living

Our furniture is made to handle real outdoor conditions. Tangent poly lumber is designed to stand up to sun, rain, snow, moisture, and everyday use.

Unlike traditional wood, poly lumber will not rot, splinter, crack, chip, or peel. It is also resistant to insects, making it a great choice for patios, porches, decks, businesses, parks, schools, and outdoor gathering spaces.

Low Maintenance

One of the biggest benefits of poly furniture is how easy it is to care for.

There is no need to paint, stain, seal, or waterproof it. For normal cleaning, simply use mild soap and water. That’s it.

Made from Recycled Material

Tangent poly lumber is made from recycled plastic materials, helping turn waste into long-lasting outdoor products. It is a durable, practical, and environmentally conscious choice for outdoor furniture.

Color That Lasts

Our poly lumber has rich color throughout the material, not just on the surface. Tangent also uses built-in UV protection to help colors stay vibrant over time.

That means your furniture keeps its bold, clean look without needing repainting or refinishing.
