Donation Program

From time to time we make donations of decking to worthy causes. The company very rarely makes cash gifts, preferring to increase our reach by making gifts of decking to suitable projects. Previously, we have made donations or provided discounted seconds material to projects including the Thundering Falls section of the Appalachian Trail (in Vermont); for the Maine Huts and Trails hut-to-hut system; the Biddeford Skate Park; viewing platforms at Mt. Agamenticus; and numerous Eagle Scout projects.

We have given material for more than 30 benches in the Biddeford-Saco area. In total, in 9 years of doing business, we estimate that we have donated or discounted more than 250,000 feet of decking and railing.

Our primary charity is The Nature Conservancy, where we have given at the highest or 2nd highest recognized level for many years. We are interested in reducing the usage of tropical hardwoods and have worked with TNC on this issue.

Additionally, the founders of the company are avid mountain bikers and are particularly interested in supporting projects that improve access to mountain bike trails, reduce impact from trail use, etc.

The material is well suited for bridges and other structures including ramps and can be used where completely submerged (i.e. for sleepers in boggy areas). It is also well suited for use on beaches; access to beaches and surf is another supported area.
