Sequoia produces two types of poly lumber. First is their founding polymer HDPS and the other is HDPE. Each one has its specific benefits, use-cases, and design implications.

HDPS stands for high-density polystyrene. HDPS is lighter and more rigid than HDPE and thus is more load bearing. This rigidity for example allows them to be one of the very few global producers of a poly lumber pergola product line. HDPS is their flagship material that the company was founded upon. It is easier and faster to manufacture and assemble HDPS products. This leads to faster turnaround times for you the customer. This product line has its own unique color palette offering and a real wood look embossing that is legendary within the industry. Custom work is possible with volume requirements. 

HDPE stands for high density polyethylene and is a more pliable material than HDPS. This means it can take stronger impacts without breaking, but it does mean that structural products like pergolas cannot be produced with it. It does; however, allow them to bend the material and create design features otherwise not achievable with HDPS as well some different fastener and joint construction options that expand the design flexibility from an engineering standpoint. This material also has a slicker more wax-like feel to it which for certain climates that may be heavy with salt in the air can provide more durability and easier furniture cleaning than HDPS. Due to the specific resin, HDPE is more resistant to color-fading as well.
