Outdoor Furniture Design
We create bespoke outdoor furniture using carbon steel, galvanized steel, and 6061 alloy aluminum. Our designs blend traditional forging with modern engineering for corrosion resistance and strength. Each piece undergoes precision welding and hand-finishing to ensure longevity in diverse climates.
Custom Fabric Selection
Our 100+ solution-dyed acrylic and polypropylene fabric choices offer UV resistance and durability. Clients can customize cushions to match their aesthetic while maintaining performance standards. Sunbrella and Ultrafabrics partnerships ensure colorfastness and easy maintenance for outdoor use.
Firepit Accessories
We design firepits with precision-cut steel and aluminum components. Full-circumference welding prevents moisture ingress, while powder-coated finishes withstand extreme temperatures. Accessories integrate seamlessly with existing collections for functional, stylish outdoor spaces.

This place does no care about the employee I have been burned severely moving welded patio furniture and denied any personal safety equipment when I asked and was fired on the spot instead. Sal is a very unprofessional incompetent individual that lacks respect and integrity.
