Not only is ACRE a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to wood, it’s also a pleasure to work with on the jobsite. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, yet every piece is strong, rigid and straight. ACRE is also easy to cut with ordinary woodworking tools—with no special equipment, training or experience—and waste is minimal. And it takes paint, stain and lacquer just like real wood. Once your project is complete, you can be confident ACRE will stand up to water, weather, fire, pests and UV for years to come, backed by an industry-leading materials guarantee.
