Weatherproof
Is it possible? Yes! Outlast products
are made of acetylated wood, which
has been proven to last for several
decades in direct contact with the
ground. Outlast will not warp, shrink,
twist, or rot and does not need cov-
ered storage, whatever the weather.
Outlast
Te great outdoors is the ultimate playground for learning and
growth. Extending your curriculum outside connects children
with the natural environment on a daily basis. Outlast products are
weatherproof, extremely durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Tey
will transform your outdoor space, adding new possibilities and
dimensions to your curriculum.
Easy care
Mud scrubs off with water and any
mild detergent. Don’t worry if your
products eventually weather to a
silvery grey – this is a natural process
for acetylated wood.
Non-toxic
Acetylation is a treatment process that
modifies wood at the molecular level,
rendering it rot resistant without using
any toxic substances. It’s child-safe
and environmentally friendly. “Safe
enough to eat” is no exaggeration.
Ultimate play value
Loose parts empower creativity and
offer unlimited opportunities for
problem solving and cooperative
play, rain or shine.
Durable
To complement the weatherproof
wood, Outlast products are fastened
with stainless steel hardware and
UV-resistant rubber. Outlast is backed
by our standard 15-year warranty.
Supporting
sustainable forestry
Outlast is made with wood from
well-managed, FSC® certified forests
and other controlled sources.
