Q: Why use vinyl for lawn and garden products?
A: Vinyl is a time-tested weather-resistant material. Garden
décor such as arbors and gazebos have to withstand
the elements just like vinyl siding or vinyl fencing. A quality
vinyl formula means virtually maintenance-free ownership.
Q: Will it discolor or become brittle over time?
A: No. A U.V. inhibitor called Titanium Dioxide is used to
protect its color and keep it from deteriorating. Our manufacturers
don't skimp on the vital ingredients. Each uses the same quality
ingredients as are in their vinyl fencing products.
Q: How does vinyl compare to wood?
A: There is no comparison! A quality vinyl is stronger, safer,
looks better, lasts much longer and costs less over time.
For example: a typical wood arbor won't be able to withstand
the weather like a Lifetime Garden Arbor. Staples and nails
will rust, the wood will splinter or rot and termites can
readily eat it away. After a few short seasons, a wood arbor
would need to be replaced. Not only is this a difficult (and
unnecessary) chore, but the process of replacing the wood
structure could damage your plant. Click

Q: Can I paint it?
A: Technically, yes. However, the joy of owning a Lifetime
Garden Product is that you don't have to paint it! The color
of the vinyl goes all the way through so it can't be scratched
or chipped off. Paint doesn't adhere well to the surface and
you'd be repainting frequently. We also don't recommend painting
as it may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Q: Your catalog says "Assembly required." What
exactly does that mean?
A: All Lifetime Garden Products are do-it-yourself kits with
complete instructions. Most install quickly with only the
most basic tools.
Our Gazebos require site preparation, specific tools and
supplies and more extensive installation steps. To review
these installation instructions by manufacturer, visit our
Installation Information page and download the appropriate
manual.

Q: Are Lifetime Garden Products the same as the plastic
garden accessories at the local home improvement and garden
centers?
A: Lifetime Garden Products rely on the same superior quality
vinyl as used in the manufacturer's fencing products to ensure
their durability and lasting performance. Our featured products
are the best on the market. Our suppliers are vinyl industry
leaders who fully warrant their products.
Q: Why are your prices higher than the plastic versions
sold in home centers?
A: In order to meet the prices the home center expects, costs
must be kept in line. This often means using lesser quality
materials or construction methods. Lifetime Garden Products
have been chosen for their endurance and performance in your
garden. We are confident you will appreciate our quality standard.
You may invest a little more in a Lifetime Garden Product,
however, you won't be disappointed.
Q: Are your products warranteed?
A: Yes, each product is covered by the original manufacturer's
warranty. Because our products are manufactured by some of
the best names in the vinyl industry, Lifetime Garden Customers
enjoy worry-free ownership. You can trust these experts to
stand behind their warranty should a problem arise. Click

Q: How long does it take to get my order?
A: Please Call For Shipping Lead Times. All Lifetime Garden Products are
shipped via UPS (except the Gazebo). Due to its dimensions,
our Gazebos will be sent by truck to your home. Our staff
will coordinate the delivery date with you.
