Why does plastic take so long to break down in a landfill? Because it is protected from the sun's harmful UV rays by a layer of dirt and other trash. Car seats spend a lot of time in the sun. The plastic loses impact strength and rigidity over time and exposure to sunlight.
The same goes for plastic gate hardware. It's temporary. If it wasn't, you wouldn't see the largest plastic gate hardware manufacturers introducing stainless steel products.
At MFT we have made stainless steel gate hardware from the very beginning. We experimented with plastics and quickly came to the conclusion that unless your gate is going to spend its entire life indoors, stainless steel was the only way to go. If you're not offering your customers the very best in stainless steel gate hardware, consider the stronger, longer lasting, and lower cost option of Modern Fence Technologies gate hardware. Made proudly in the United States of America!
