How weather proof is my outdoor kitchen?

SustainaPod All-Weather Series: The SustainaPod All-Weather Series cabinets are constructed entirely from exterior grade board manufactured under high pressure and temperature. A UV resistant coating is integrated in into the laminate. No lacquering or protectants are required for upkeep. It is tested to withstand sun, heat, rain and wind. As with most surfaces exposed to outdoor conditions, some change in colour and appearance of the surfaces will occur after prolonged exposure (including sunlight, heat and moisture). Prolonged or sudden extreme temperature changes to the 20mm natural granite stone benchtop can create thermal shock cracks. We suggest covering your outdoor kitchen when not in use for prolonged periods. Refer to the SustainaPod Outdoor Kitchen Care & Cleaning Guide and Warranty, supplied with your product packaging, for more detail.

 

SustainaPod LITE Series: The SustainaPod LITE Series cabinets are hand-crafted using 12mm 100% recycled plastic board – high density polyethylene (HDPE). The plastic surface is water and mould resistant and UV stabilised to produce long-lasting mechanical strength and colour consistency in many external and internal applications. The benchtops are made of a Laminex® acrylic surface, which is a durable resin material offering a satin finish. The LITE Series is weather resistant and professionally designed as a freestanding barbecue cabinet and must be 30mm minimum off any back wall, as well as located undercover or in a low-UV environment.
