CorrectDeck CX
Used to Build Pirate Ship Playground
 |
BATH, Maine
- Correct Building Product's (CBP) high-performance,
sustainable CorrectDeck CX was donated to
the Maine
Maritime Museum (MMM) to build the 60-foot
play ship, Pirates
Paradise.
The ship sits on the museum grounds in Bath
along the banks of the Kennebec River and
provides a playground for children and families
to enjoy while visiting the museum. Amy
Lent, executive director at MMM noted, "For
years to come, thousands of kids will enjoy
this ship thanks to the donation from CorrectDeck.
And hopefully people will imagine entirely
new ways to use the product."
Four units of mahogany-colored CorrectDeck
CX were donated to the museum in 2007 when
work on the new playground began. The ship
was christened on June 21 and is expected
to delight visitors for many years to come.
The use of CorrectDeck CX will increase
the ship's durability and reduce the work
required to keep the playground in excellent
condition.
CorrectDeck CX is a composite lumber made
from recycled hardwood and polypropylene
plastic. It features antimicrobial product
protection and UV inhibitors to repel stains,
mildew, mold and fading and won't warp,
rot, crack or splinter like wood. It only
requires occasional sweeping or a rinse
with a garden hose to keep it clean.
"We are happy to support the efforts
of the Maine Maritime Museum in our community
and help provide a fun and safe place for
imaginative play," noted Martin Grohman,
founder and chairman of Correct Building
Products.
CBP's products, including CorrectDeck CX
and Dimensional Composite Lumber (DCL),
are used regularly to enhance play structures
at commercial, school and residential properties.
The embossed wood grain on the product provides
a slip-resistant surface and unlike wood,
will not splinter, providing a rugged, child-friendly
surface.
The Pirates Paradise playground is open
to all MMM visitors. More information about
the museum can be found at: www.mainemaritimemuseum.org.
