Bijou Mainstay made with double layer sewn seams, polyester panel that made from recycled water bottles, solid steel top star hub, and over 100 wrapped LEDs lights.
Can Bijou be left outdoors all year long?
It most certainly can! Bijou uses outdoor pro grade materials. Steel hinged bracket is powder coated steel with UV resistant coating. The metal hardware is stainless steel and the anchor feet are UV injected nylon.
The panels are made of 50% recycled water bottles and are a permeable UV Teslin material.
Bijou includes 2 storage straps so it is portable, but it is also a sturdy climbing structure so it does need to be staked down.
They also use pressure treated lumber so it is decay and mildew resistant, however, this does make the assembled Mainstay approximately 150lbs
Of course, the sun will breakdown anything given enough time, so it’s always best to store Bijou when it’s convenient or you aren’t using it, but not required, just suggested for longevity.
Does Bijou material hold water?
No! it does not. Bijou Build purposely designed the panels to be as permeable as possible while still providing UV protection and shade. Bijou doesn’t hold water or wind so it is more sturdy and stable.
If your Bijou does ever get marred, simply spray down with soap of your choice and water and give a bit of a scrub with a brush. Similar to outdoor cushions, etc.
How long does Bijou last?
Years and years! Bijou Build fabric panels have been tested for a variety of climates and extended use and abuse scenarios. Plus, your pressure treated wood stands up to the elements and, well, kids. Bijou Build wants your family to use your Bijou and make memories for years to come.
