High density polyethylene (H.D.P.E.) is maintenance free.
High density polyethylene is a maintenance free material. The plastic material is non-porous so it will not absorb stains or water. This makes them able to resist salt, gas, oil, water and bird droppings. It is also termite and mold proof. The plastic is pigmented all the way through so the color does not fade in sunlight. However, in extreme temperatures plastic may expand and crack.
High Density Polyethylene is often specified by architects and government agencies due to its long lasting, maintenance free properties. The case is held together with fasteners and because the material is high density its screw retention is 30% greater than ordinary lumber. The finished back panel looks great on posts and adds structural integrity to the cabinet. Two moisture drip holes are drilled through the base of the cabinet.
Mounting Post
Due to supply chain issues and the recent increases in energy and motor freight costs we are unable to economically ship the posts to mount the message center. However, cedar posts, outdoor pressure treated lumber or plastic decking lumber is readily available at local building supply centers for hundres of dollars less than we can ship them.
Bulletin Board
A bulletin board is included inside the cabinet. It is a thick self sealing natural cork surface laminated to 5/8 inch fiberboard and wrapped with satin anodized aluminum frame. The bulletin board is attached with screws and is easily replaceable if necessary.
Shatter resistant acrylic window
The door includes solid disc tumbler locks to protect against vandalism while controlling access to posting surface. The locking mechanism is clipped in place. Two keys are included. The door frame holds a durable, 1/8 inch shatter-resistant acrylic window so messages can be seen but not touched. The window frame sits in a recessed channel and fastened in place with door trim. This makes the window replaceable if vandalized.
Full length piano hinge
This one door unit is mounted with full-length piano hinge. The case dimensions are 18W x 18H and 5-1/2 inch exterior depth, 8-1/2 inch rain cover depth. The main case frame is 3/4 inch wide and the door frame is 1-1/2 inch. This reduces the visible area to 11.25W x 11.25H. The interior space between the door and the cork board is 3-3/4 inch.
