PREVENTING OCEAN WASTE FROM ENTERING THE OCEAN
DuraOcean® is an innovative plastic material made with recycled plastic input material. This allows us to deliver a material that is created with up to 93% recycled base material. The plastic is created from ropes, sourced from harbours and maritime industry areas, allowing LifestyleGarden® to prevent the material from being wasted or polluting the ocean. The plastic waste is transformed into a valuable recycled raw material, which is delivered to us in pellet form. This is done after a series of washing and cleaning of the material, after sorting based on the type of plastic to ensure the highest quality and properties. These pellets are mixed into a resin with other additives – all of which are REACH compliant and recyclable – and injected into our custom-built moulds. The result is a UV-resistant and ergonomically designed product that is supported by our hard-wearing FSC®-certified Brazilian Eucalyptus wood. This combination of nature and plastic is the DuraOcean® chairs and tables.
DuraOcean® chairs are the world’s first commercially available chairs made with marine plastic waste, setting the benchmark for sustainable material usage and design.
The DuraOcean® products are designed for disassembly, meaning that the design allows each component in its purest form to be recycled into new production circles.
+ Up to 93% recycled content
+ Weather-resistant
+ Zero maintenance
+ Recyclable
+ UV-resistant.
DuraOcean® has excellent UV stability and will retain its colour for a very long time.
All Lifestylegarden® DuraOcean® products come with a 5-year warranty.
DuraOcean® is made with recycled plastics originating from marine material - mainly consisting of ropes that have been safely prevented from polluting the oceans, cleaned and turned into beautiful chairs and tables. DuraOcean® is fully recyclable, after use you can dispose of the buckets and the top of the tables at a green point station near your home. Most countries have these stations available; as an alternative, you can also leave the plastic buckets and table tops on the container for plastic bottles.
DuraOcean® doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals and it is completely safe for the environment. All the DuraOcean® products have been manufactured according to rigorous standards and in accordance with the EU laws that banned harmful chemicals (REACH). We have made DuraOcean® products from recycled plastic and stabilizers free to reduce our environmental footprint.
LifestyleGarden® DuraOcean® products require no maintenance and can be cleaned easily using soap and water. With intense and prolonged exposure to sunlight, the colour may fade slightly so it is highly recommended to cover the items when not in use, and/or store inside during harsh weather and winter.
HIGH-QUALITY ALUMINIUM AND CAST ALUMINIUM
LifestyleGarden® uses aluminium that is commonly used for boatbuilding and water-sensitive shore applications - the best choice for products used outdoors. Aluminium offers stability and robustness while also being lightweight and easy to move yet also extremely robust and reliable offering convenience and peace of mind.
LifestyleGarden® uses innovative cast aluminium die-casting technology, which allows for ergonomic design and the creation of unique shapes. LifestyleGarden® cast aluminium furniture is a perfect fusion of form and function with pieces that bring elegance, style and practicality to your outdoor living space.
LifestyleGarden® aluminium components and products are coated with Duracoat®, polymer-based, multi-layer powder coating for effective protection from the weather. We believe Duracoat® is an ideal covering for our aluminium as it is highly protective, low maintenance and retains its colour year after year. The high-quality, multi-layer Duracoat® finish gives a sleek, smooth appearance that also provides unparalleled protection from the elements and everyday wear and tear.

FSC™ CERTIFIED EUCALYPTUS
For hardwood products LifestyleGarden® uses FSC® certified eucalyptus, a natural, living material that adds character to any piece of outdoor furniture, in addition to being durable and long-lasting.
Minor cracks and colour variations that occur over time are natural features of hardwood and only serve to enhance the character and authentic appearance of the furniture.
All hardwood products have been specially in-house treated with a unique water-based finish, Duragrain®, that provides protection while also allowing the natural grain of the wood to be appreciated through the unique coloured finish. We suggest a bi-annual treatment of LifestyleGarden®’s Wood Sealer and Wood Protector to maintain a pristine look

+ Unique coloured finish
Duragrain® products will retain their colour for many years although if constantly exposed to the sun, the colour will fade after approximately 6 months without maintenance.

The wood used for manufacturing our products can be traced all the way back to its origin. All of the wood is exclusively grown on FSC(TM) certified regenerated plantations. This means you can trace the furniture all the way to the place where the tree once grew, and know it came from a responsibly managed forect.
Lifestylegarden®'s Hardwood complies with EU Timber regulations, the Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2011 and the Lacey Act in the USA.
All LifestyleGarden® furniture is designed and manufactured to provide the highest levels of durability, as well as looking great with a minimum of maintenance. However, it should be noted that it is quite natural for timber to shrink and expand depending on humidity levels. Hardwood products have been primarily designed and manufactured for use in our normal summer climate and it is recommended that the product is covered during heavy snow and rainfall to prolong the life and maintaining the premium-quality finishes used on many of our pieces.
LifestyleGarden® hardwood products require maintenance every six months. Should the surface become dirty, greasy or oily it is recommended that a brush or cloth is used for easy removal. To remove rough patches first sand the surface and then apply LifestyleGarden®’s Wood Sealer and Wood Protector to protect the furniture in all weather conditions as well as maintaining the natural golden-brown colour.

FSC™ CERTIFIED TEAK
Teak is the natural choice for premium outdoor furniture. This material is one of the most sought after wood species in the world, renowned for its strength, durability and beautiful appearance.
LifestyleGarden® only uses teak that is FSC™ certified – timber is grown in responsibly managed plantations or has been sourced and recycled from components and structures on the island of Java. The wood originates from barns, houses, railway sleepers and other constructions. The wood is bought from the original sources before it is brushed, cleaned and repaired to give it a beautiful, rustic appearance.
Teak ages beautifully with the original golden-brown colour gradually becoming replaced by a silver-grey patina if left untreated, which gives a classic, rustic appearance. This generally begins to happen after 4-5 months without treatment. If left untreated for 2 years, the silver-grey patina will change to a dark grey or green colour.
+ Weather-resistant
+ Maintenance-free
+ 100% recycled and recyclable
+ UV-resistant
Although teak is renowned for its rich golden-brown appearance, it is also highly prized for its classic, aged appearance, which occurs after exposure to the elements. Overtime, teak will naturally develop a mature, silver-grey patina, which many connoisseurs prefer. Generally, this begins to occur after 4-5 months without treatment but if the teak is left untreated for 2 years, the silver-grey patina will become a much darker grey to green colour.
All LifestyleGarden® teak products come with a 2-year warranty.
The wood used for manufacturing FSC™ certified teak products can be traced all the way back to its origin. All teak used by LifestyleGarden®is exclusively grown in Indonesia on FSC™ certified plantations. This means you can trace the furniture all the way to the place where the tree once grew, and know it came from a responsibly managed forest.
LifestyleGarden® Hardwood complies with EU Timber regulations, the Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2011 and the Lacey Act in the USA.
All LifestyleGarden® furniture is designed and manufactured to provide the highest levels of durability and weather-resistance as well as looking great with a minimum of maintenance. However, we do understand the importance of prolonging the life and maintaining the premium-quality finishes used on many of our pieces.
Teak does not require any additional maintenance but if the original golden-brown appearance is preferred, annual treatment with LifestyleGarden® Wood Sealer and Wood Protector is recommended. These products help to protect the furniture in all weather conditions as well as maintaining the natural golden-brown colour.
