To maintain the original finish, clean the lumber with in/in/˚F
soap and water. No sealing or painting is required;
as a general rule, paint will not adhere to RPI Lumber Flammability
products. The materials utilized in recycled plastic lumber are
flammable but not combustible. HDPE is difficult to
Limitations ignite and the flame will normally self extinguish.
It is not recommended for use as a structural member.
It is also recommended that an engineering study be Accepted extinguishing method: DRY CHEMICAL,

16 inches on center. For heavy load bearing applications
additional support may be considered.

Basic Uses
RPI Lumber products can be used as replacements for
wood lumber applications. For exterior applications
where weathering resistance and low maintenance are
required, RPI Lumber should be your choice.
