That search led to them calling Earth Anchors, who specialises in recycled plastic wood products. Crucially, the company offered the exact plastic wood size required—30 x 150mm. The conversation proved decisive: clear advice, practical guidance, and reassurance about how the material performs convinced the customer to place an order and collect it the following day.

The installation quickly dispelled any lingering doubts. The recycled plastic lumber cut cleanly, handled like wood, and blended in perfectly with the property’s exterior. Once fitted, the decorative gable drew immediate attention from neighbours, many of whom were intrigued that it was not traditional timber as well.

Beyond the visual match, the long‑term benefit is what stands out. The homeowner was delighted that they no longer needs to climb a ladder each year to sand, treat, or re‑varnish the beams; maintenance that had become both time‑consuming and impractical.

With many houses on the estate facing similar issues and needing a exterior beam replacement, the experience has turned into an informal endorsement. The homeowner now recommends the recycled alternative as a durable, low‑maintenance upgrade and praises Earth Anchors as “a great company to deal with” producing “a quality recycled product.”
