City of Los Angeles - “The City of Los Angeles has been a leader in using eco-friendly products with high recycled material content whenever possible and so the sustainable properties and manufacturing processes of LifeTime Lumber made it a natural choice for us from an environmental perspective… LifeTime Lumber’s durable, lightweight boards make it much easier for our crews to get it out to the worksites for installation. And we love the fact that once the fence is up, there is no need for painting or scheduled maintenance- even years down the road, “said Craig Raines, landscape architect associate for the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks.

CulverAcademy - “CulverAcademy is very committed to green initiatives and we try to incorporate sustainable designs into all our campus projects, so the environmentally friendly aspect of LifeTime Lumber was what immediately attracted us to the product,” said Culver Academy Director of Facilities Jeff Kutch. “The facility’s original riding wall was painted and had to be re-painted periodically as the paint chipped from the day-to-day wear and tear to the wall surface,” said Steve Park of the Moake Park Group, architect for Culver Academy and LEED accredited professional. “Since LifeTime Lumber is a hard, durable with material with continuous color throughout, we won’t have to paint it because it’s not as susceptible to the chipping and visible dents we experienced with wood.” “When we first contemplated the construction of the riding wall, we anticipated using tongue-in-groove construction to accommodate the expanding and contracting of the wall material, but that wasn’t necessary with LifeTime Lumber,” added Park. “Our contractors really liked the dimensional stability of LifeTime Lumber versus real wood that expands and contracts with moisture and humidity. With LifeTime Lumber, it is what it is- and that makes it much easier to work with.”

O’Connor Signature Equestrian Facility - “We have been searching for a product like the LifeTime Lumber product for years. All the other maintenance- free products look like plastic. The LifeTime Lumber product looks and feels like real wood. We love the rich, grainy authentic look of this product.” – Jennifer K. Donovan, Principal, Equestrian Services, LLC.

Material ConneXion Global Library- “With LifeTime Lumber, it was the use of fly ash that garnered interest. The concern was about the amount of waste fly ash from energy plants and intriguing uses for this material – this was good use of it, “said Dr. Andrew Dent, Vice President, library and materials research, Material ConneXion, Inc.

County of Ventura - “We looked at many different kinds of fencing for park and equestrian applications, but the key factors in our decision to select LifeTime Lumber are that it’s a low maintenance product that doesn’t splinter and looks great,” said Karl Novak, project manager, Ventura County Public Works Agency. “When a horse runs into a wood fence, the wood can splinter and injure the animal. Wood fence posts also have to be changed out periodically because they rot, and LifeTime Lumber is a product that can address these issues.” “My experience with other, hollow wood alternative products is that the rails tend to fall out of the fence post structure as the boards age, and that scenario won’t stand up to abuse from a horse. LifeTime Lumber is a solid composite product that can really take a beating,” said Mike Roberts, project manager for Mendez Concrete, contractor for the VenturaCounty project.

UC Davis Equestrian Facility - “During the planning stages for the new arena we put a lot of thought into choosing the right materials for the job, and LifeTime Lumber was the natural choice because of its looks, its sustainable manufacturing process, resistance to rot and low-maintenance requirements,” said Matt Fucile, associate director of operations for the department of campus recreation at UC Davis. “We’re always looking to see what we can do to address the LEED requirements in our facilities, and the sustainability of the LifeTime Lumber product is a definite bonus. At UC Davis we are moving away from using wood products that deteriorate and eventually are sent to a landfill.”

Northgate Builders, Inc. - “We recently purchased your LifeTime Lumber product for equestrian use. Delighted with the performance, we wanted to take a moment and thank you. We are thrilled with the high quality and ease of use. The fence looks beautiful. I definitely would use the LifeTime Lumber product in other applications.” – Gerald J. Dupasquier, President, Northgate Builders, Inc.
