THE FACTORY

Merimbula Leisure Furniture has been operating in the Far South Coast area for over 15 years.
We have just taken it over from the former owners who operated it for the past 11 years.

To give you an idea of our small factory we have some photos of Kevin at work.......

The specially manufactured UV protected poly-pipe is cut to length ready for heating in the kiln. The pipe comes in white and vanilla only and is 35mm in diameter. factory4.jpg (34413 bytes)
The kiln and rubber inserts are heated to the correct temperature and the pre-cut pipe is placed over the rubber insert and heated for about 1 and a half minutes. factory2.jpg (34015 bytes)
The pipe with rubber insert is then placed in the appropriate mould until relatively cool when the rubber is removed and replaced in the kiln. factory3.jpg (32604 bytes)
When cooled, the pipe is removed from the mould for assembly as a chair or sun-lounge. High quality clear pvc cement is used in all joints. The fabric sling is the final item of assembly. factory1.jpg (35326 bytes)
