Modwood panels on a steel frame make this built-in seating spot easy to manage with zero maintenance for the school and an eco-edge as the Modwood is made in Australia using recycled milk bottles then mixed with pine resin to produce a long-lasting timber like decking or seating. Ideal for Australian outdoor conditions with high temperatures and rain, hail and frost as we have in Melbourne’s winter. The Modwood never changes much, unlike wood that will warp, twist, splinter, and change colour. This never needs much upkeep and will never need to be painted. Save on future maintenance.
