Site Furniture Design Details

A lot goes into making high-quality, durable site furniture. At Keystone Ridge Designs, we consistently prove that the design is in the details and it is those details that separate our outdoor furnishings from the competition. So, in no uncertain terms, this is a blog to toot our own horn and explain the design differences that form the Keystone Ridge Designs advantage.

American-Made Site Furniture

From the raw materials to the packaging we use, our site furnishings are 100% made in the USA. Skilled welders and fabricators at our Butler, PA facilities manufacture each item with pride and attention to detail to ensure a quality product designed and built to specification.

Full Weld Seams

A hallmark trait that helps to define Keystone Ridge Designs quality is the full weld seams that you find on our steel furnishings. Every instance where steel is connected to steel gets welded together with a continuous, inseparable weld seam. This strengthens the bond of the seam, smooths the appearance and provides a critical barrier that prevents moisture from entering the seam and causing corrosion.

Powder Coat Finish

Our trademarked Keyshield® powder coat finish offers a smooth armor with unparalleled corrosion and sun-fade resistance. After sandblasting to prepare the product, a two-coat powder coating process is electrostatically applied to an industry-leading 7-15 mil thickness and oven cured to create a strong, satin-like finish that offers a clean appearance, superior outdoor durability and weather protection. Touted as a low-emitting finish option, it is an environmentally-friendly process that can stand up to any environment.

Commercial-Grade and Recycled Materials

Partnered with some of the best steel and metal suppliers in the country, the commercial-grade raw materials we use to assemble each product gives us a superior, structurally-sound starting point to begin manufacturing. We also procure materials composed of at least 25% recycled content with certain elements being up to 97-100% recycled content.
