For joists or beams, while most customers use wood, you may use our structural grade. Phoenix Plastic Lumber has a very long maintenance free product life. Engineers estimate that it will last for 400 years with minimal degradation.

Under normal conditions and use, cold and hot temperatures will not affect plastic lumber. Plastic lumber will soften at 180 F with a melting point of 435 F . No product distortions will occur within the service temperature range of -25 F to 125 F . Although it has a higher kindling point than wood and is self extinguishing when flame is removed, plastic lumber, like wood, will burn when exposed to a combustion source for a long period. Second, plastic lumber can't leech and contaminate the soil because it is non porous and contains none of the chemical hazards associated with pressure treated and creosoted lumber.
