Recycled Plastic Lumber Repair For Wooden Door Posts

Prevent rot creeping up on an outbuilding door frame

Recycled plastic wood stepped in as a practical stopgap when the base of the door post began to fail. The rot for traditional lumber had crept in quietly over time, fed by rain, cold snaps, and the constant cycle of dampness that traditional timber never quite escapes. By the time the damage was obvious, the priority was simply to halt the decline before it spread any further.

Door Posts Repair Using Recycled Plastic Lumber

Recycled plastic lumber is built for long‑term use, but in this case it also happened to be the perfect short‑term stand‑in. Its complete resistance to moisture meant it could sit in place without swelling, rotting, or taking on water while the team carried out the full post repairs later.

Everyone understood it wasn’t a full structural replacement, but it bought valuable breathing room and time to plan a longer‑term fix without the risk of the damage worsening in the meantime.

Through rain and cold, the recycled plastic held firm. It became a reminder of how durable, adaptable, and effective recycled materials can be when you need a fast solution.

At 0950 on 8th July we ordered a "Bronze Garden Plaque - 150 x 100mm".At 1047 the same day recieved and email with a document attached showing excatly how our plaque/wording would would look. We confirm the ordered and recieved email to confirm this.On 17th August recieved an email confirming the plaque was ready and a delivery date.The plaque arrived on the due date, with the ability to track the plaque which was well packaged on arrival.Very happy with the plaque and the great service we had from Earth Anchors ( Debbie Nichols and Stephanie Thorpe).

600 x 600 x 600 black planter. Kept up to date with progress and delivery. Very heavy (as expected). Looks brilliant and waiting for son to visit to help put it together. Need to drill holes in the base for drainage, but that's not a problem.

From start to finish I had a really very good experience ending with the delivery of a product that I was able to erect very easily.
Grace Martin
The team were fantastic, they kept in contact regularly with updates on progress and went above and beyond to deliver my item ahead of schedule. The quality was also brilliant. Thank you.

We have a lot of Earth Anchors seating on our playing field, and we have been buying it for years now. It is of unfailingly good quality - heavy and substantial and strong - and we have no complaints at all except, perhaps, that it is rather expensive. Nevertheless, you get what you paid for.
Geoff Fellows

Bruce Townsend
Great products and service.

I ordered a cast bronze bench memorial plaque to be engraved in memory of my brother. Timing was tight but Debbie and the team promised to do their best to meet the deadline. They exceeded all our expectations - the plaque arrived 2 days earlier than requested and was exactly as advertised. The quality is outstanding and great value for the price charged.We are forever grateful for the professional and personal service provided at what is a very sad time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Earth Anchors to anyone. Thank you once again

I recently bought a Surrey 1M picnic table from Earth Anchors. It took a little longer to arrive than the original estimate and we woke on the morning of delivery day to find it already on the drive outside the house.The table is well made and sturdy and a perfect fit for two people in our small garden. It will also fit four with a chair added at each end.Only problem encountered during assembly was that four of the pre-drilled holes were a bit off meaning the screws hit another which had been fitted earlier during assembly. We had to drill another hole to get round the problem. I have added a photo to show this.I’m confident our Surrey 1M picnic table will serve us well for many years.
Ruth Dennis
Very pleased with the bench looks good.

I purchased their Meridian teak garden seat recently. An excellent product, attractive, sturdy and well made. Ordering was easy, and delivery prompt. Very impressed with the "root-anchors" for installing the seat in soft ground (so it didn't get nicked !) Very clear instructions (including video clip), and easy to fix.
Tim Venner
I recently purchased a cast bronze garden plaque with which I am absolutely delighted. A quality long lasting tribute to my loved ones. The customer service I received from Debbie & Stephanie was excellent. Highly recommend & would use again.
Julie Lawlor
Following my visit to earth anchors, I was amazed to find out that posts were not the only things that they produce. Benches that will last for 25 years without rotting away fence panels and other recycled plastic paraphernalia. I was extraordinarily impressed with what I saw and I will not hesitate to buy from them again.
john Pennington

Customer service is superb with this company. I have to say I was blown away by the finished product. I ordered the heart shaped raw brass tree memorial plaque and it truly was beyond what I expected. The quality and presentation is so impressive and looks simply beautiful.

We needed a durable bronze plaque for a friend's memorial tree and Art Anchors produced exactly what we needed. Their correspondence was also really good. I would really recommend them.

Took me a while to find the right product online, but this fitted the bill exactly! Solid product and well made, just what I was looking for. Great service from Earth Anchors and they kept me up to speed with the delivery all the way through - lots of disruption with the weather over the past few weeks and they were very good at keeping me posted - thanks!

Really good product, very easy to work. Perfect for a garden building base. The Ecoply is dense, like a plastic version of MDFOrdering and delivery were excellent, with the boss bringing my goods on the requested day and helping to unload carefully.I’ll be back for the next project!

Very impressed with the bronze plaque I received from Earth Anchors to commemorate a dear family friend. They sent me a proof of the plaque via email beforehand so I could see if I wanted any changes to be made (I’ve attached a photo of the proof and the actual plaque). It comes with four tamper-proof screws. I was given a delivery date, could track my order and the delivery was great. Thank you very much for the beautiful plaque.
Kate
Ordered 3 memorial plaques (2 were replacements purchased from another company as they had weathered) and I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional customer service and products. The website was easy to use and they email you with a preview to make sure you are happy before they start making them. They let you know when the items are dispatched and they are all perfect. High quality finish and great value. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you
Kirsty Gregory

Billly Bong
Just a quick note to say thank you so very much for doing such a wonderful job of Dad’s plaque – it is absolutely wonderful, so much better than we had hoped for. He would have been delighted with the tractor, and the robustness of it all. Thank you so much for doing such a lovely thing for us.
