Hot Dip Galvanized Finish:
Selected Pilot Rock bench and table frame components, lantern holders, trash receptacle holder components, bike racks and two grills are available with a hot-dip galvanized finish that is applied after fabrication and welding to ASTM A123 specifications to maintain an average zinc coating of 2.0 oz. per sq. ft. of surface area. Use /G in model number for hot dip galvanized finish.


Powder Coat Finish:
Selected Pilot Rock bench and table components (steel and aluminum), lantern holders, trash receptacle holders and bike racks are available with baked on lead-free TGIC polyester powder coat finish that is applied in a multi-step process of material preparation and finish application. This process includes: detailed chemical cleaning; application of a corrosion inhibiting iron-phosphate high pressure, high temperature bath; rinse; seal rinse; high temperature dry time; electrostatic application of the powder coat paint; chemical bonding to metal substrate in 400 degree industrial oven. The tough 3 mil thick coating offers a superior finish to liquid paints.

Untreated #1 Southern Yellow Pine:
Untreated #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine, kiln dried to reduce moisture content. The lumber is ready for you to water seal, paint or stain. All lumber is precision drilled to facilitate assembly. All exposed edges are removed to 3/8" radius. Use UP in model number for untreated pine. Tables use 2” x 10” planks. Benches can use 2” x 4”, 3” x 4” or 2” x 10” planks (varies by model). Trash receptacles use 2” x 4” slats. All dimensions are nominal.



Treated #1 Southern Yellow Pine:
Treated #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine is pressure treated and kiln dried after treatment (KDAT) to reduce moisture content. Wood preservative (no arsenic) gives superior protection against termites, insects and decay. The lumber is clean to handle, dry and ready for you to water seal, paint or stain. All lumber is precision drilled to facilitate assembly. All exposed edges are removed to 3/8" radius. Use TP in model number for treated pine.



Aluminum:
Several select picnic tables and benches can be equipped with seats/tops or seats/back of aluminum planks. These planks are extruded 6063-T6 aluminum, equivalent in size to 2" x 10" (nominal) lumber planks. Four structural ribs provide rigid support and strength. The aluminum is clear anodized to specification 204 R1 for a clean, maintenance free finish. All plank ends are covered by an extruded, clear anodized aluminum end cap fastened into place. Table tops are made into single units (at the factory) by connecting the planks with one-piece end caps fastened across each end of the top. Aluminum planks are provided with precision fitted aluminum brackets and galvanized carriage bolts to attach planks to table or bench frames. Use AL in model number for aluminum.

Optional: Aluminum components (max. 12 ft. length) are also available with powder coated mill finish aluminum planks with clear anodized end caps. See Powder Coat Finish description for details.



Construction Heart Redwood:
Construction heart redwood is a popular alternative to pine. Select planks are made from the interior grain of American Redwood. Redwood naturally resists decay. It is available in several common lumber dimensions. All lumber is precision drilled to facilitate assembly. All exposed edges are removed to a 3/8" radius. NOTE: other species of lumber such as cedar, fir and clear redwood may be available when in stock. Please inquire. Use CO in model number for construction heart redwood.


Exotic Imported Lumber:
Exotic imported hardwoods exhibit high resistance to decay, water damage and physical damage without the use of chemical treatments. Their features often imitate redwood. All of these hardwoods are imported from managed forests. Currently available only as 3" x 4" (nominal) timber for Pilot Rock benches. Species may vary depending on availability and cost. Please inquire. Currently using an Indonesian Balau wood (as of 10/2004). Use IB in model number for Indonesian Balau wood.


Heat Resistant Black Enamel Paint:
Pilot Rock grills and campfire rings are finished with a high heat resistant, non-toxic, matte (low gloss) black enamel paint. This silicone-based paint is lead and chrome free and formulated especially for Pilot Rock. It is capable of enduring temperatures exceeding 750 degrees.


Thermo Plastic Coated Expanded Steel and Perforated Steel and Steel Plate Products:
Selected Pilot Rock bench, table and trash receptacle products and components (expanded steel, perforated steel, cut/formed steel plate) are finished with a thermo-plastic coating in your choice of available colors. The thermo-plastic coating is PVC free and phthalate free.

The UV-stabilized thermo-plastic coating is applied in a multi-step process of material preparation and finish application, designed and formulated to create superior adhesion. After cleaning, the steel component is heated to 500-600 degrees (depending on the component). It is then lowered into an air-fluidized bed of colored polyethylene powder. This fluid powder fuses and bonds to the heated metal. The component is then baked at high temperature to cure the application.

This complete process of cleaning-heating-fusing-baking tightly bonds the powder to the metal, creating a durable, colorfast finish. The thermo-plastic finish includes a superior level of UV protection, does not support mold or mildew growth, and is impact resistant. We use a textured matte finish polyethylene. The matte finishes are less susceptible to marring and scratching (which is often a problem with gloss finishes).

Expanded steel, perforated steel, and cut steel plate components are assembled and reinforced with formed steel edge bands, angle irons and bars as appropriate to each product design. All components are single piece welded construction.

Two Types of EXPANDED STEEL Top and Seat Designs:

All of the D-Type and V-Type expanded steel that we use is 3/4-#9 material with a short longitudinal stretch. A shorter stretch means smaller “diamond” openings, which leaves more material (steel) per foot. The more diamonds there are per lineal foot is your indication that there is more steel left in the structure. Therefore, the top and seats will be stronger. It is also called the “long way design, non flattened expanded metal”. “Non-flattened” means the steel is “on edge” around the diamonds. This provides a stronger, more rigid material.

D-Type: This standard duty table top/seat design is built for your most common public applications.

V-Type: SNOW LOAD RATED. This design incorporates wider edge banding and more structural supports to create a table built for applications and locations that can be more abusive to the structure. This material is especially suited for high elevation areas where winter snow load can destroy average tables. The V-Type Snow Load design is available on WXT, WXTH, WPTS, XT, XTH and APT Series rectangular tables.

Note: Colors and textures may vary. Colors shown are as close to the actual colors as possible. There may be variations in color translations over the Internet and by different monitors and printers used to view the colors. When selecting colors, keep in mind that Thermo-Plastic Coating for tables and seats and Powder Coating for frames may not be exactly the same color. That is, a Blue Thermo-Plastic Coating for seats and/or tops and a Blue Powder Coating for frames may differ slightly.


100% Recycled Plastic Timbers, Planks, Flat Lids and Frames:
Our recycled plastic material is 100% recycled high-density polyethylene and is formed using a combination of post-consumer and post-industrial waste plastics. There is no virgin plastic in this product. Post-consumer plastic has been used by a consumer and then recycled to avoid dumping in a landfill (such as milk jugs). Post-industrial plastics have gone through a manufacturing process but never reached the consumer (such as product rejects or process wastes). On average our product is 80% post consumer and 20% post industrial (percentages can vary). Our plastic components are 100% recycled and can also be recycled again and again. There are no toxic chemicals in this product. Plastic by its very nature does not leach.

A solid color is formed throughout the component and a UV stabilizer is added for ultraviolet protection. This recycled plastic is a dense, durable product, offering a long lasting, attractive appearance. It will not splinter or rot, and is resistant to mold and insects. These components are molded into solid dimensional shapes corresponding to nominal lumber dimensions. Recycled plastic components are available in your choice of colors.
