Drums sent to landfill

Your patio furniture shouldn't be afraid of rain

Most outdoor furniture is an apology. Plastic that fades. Wood that warps. Wicker that unravels after two seasons. We start with steel drums that already survived industrial use, then finish them into furniture that handles humidity, storms, and Louisiana summers without flinching.

What makes it different

Steel drums were never meant to be comfortable. We fixed that.

Truly Waterproof

Steel drums are sealed containers by design. We preserve that integrity with powder-coated finishes that resist rust, UV damage, and standing water. Leave it in the rain. It doesn't care.

Built Heavy, Stays Put

No chasing chairs across the yard when wind picks up. These are substantial pieces that anchor your outdoor space with the weight and presence of industrial steel.

One-of-a-Kind Pieces

Every drum carries its own history, markings, and patina. Your furniture has a story before it ever reaches your patio. No two pieces are identical.

Sustainability You Can Sit On

Each piece diverts a 55-gallon drum from the landfill and gives it decades more life. Functional environmentalism, no virtue signaling required.

The Process

From drum to dining set

01

Source

We acquire food-grade and industrial 55-gallon steel drums from Louisiana's supply chain. Each drum is inspected, cleaned, and prepped for transformation.

02

Cut and Shape

Plasma cutting and hand-forming turn raw steel into ergonomic seating, tabletops, and structural components. Every cut is measured for comfort and stability.

03

Finish and Seal

Multi-layer powder coating locks in color and seals against moisture, UV, and salt air. Custom colors available. The finish outlasts the furniture it sits next to.

04

Deliver

Ready for your patio, restaurant patio, brewery courtyard, or waterfront deck. Ships from Hammond, Louisiana to anywhere in the Gulf South and beyond.
