New Product Showcase
Wishbone continues to innovate - check out these new designs and applications
The BayView bench has been a huge success in the past couple years. It's priced right at under $1K, and super comfortable. We are now pleased to offer its cousin, the BayView picnic table, with similar design cues. A great looking table with incredibly easy access and egress, a big issue with many tables on the market.

Benda-Board - lawn edging and more...
Wishbone is proud to stock and distribute Benda-Board.
Benda-Board's unique design characteristics allow it to achieve tight radiuses. Plus, it's a very green product, made with 100% recycled plastics. Comes in the color REDWOOD, along with metal and plastic accessories. 20 FT lengths mean you'll get clean lines in your landscaping projects. Benda-Board is fast becoming the standard for many municipalities - try it on your next lawn edging project.
Some concrete contractors have found the secret to creating curves with ease, without the hassle of carving up 2x4's. Benda-Board scored top marks for ease of use - no issues with stripping it off the concrete.

| Replacement boards
Why not spruce up some of your old benches. Over time, seat and backrest boards get "tired" looking, scuffed up, damaged or discoloured. Consider replacement plastic boards with stainless steel connectors. If there is an existing bronze plaque on the bench, send the board and plaque to Wishbone, and we'll mount it on a fresh new backrest board.

NEW - XPotential Stair System
For Outdoor Curved and Straight Stair Runs
Problem: You have an outdoor grade that requires stairs. Treated timbers are no longer an option, and regular untreated timbers will only last so long. Once the timbers degrade, you have a liability on your hands. Concrete is not feasible. And rock is too labor intensive and unpredictable.
Solution: XPotential (XP) Stair System. XP is a recycled plastic billet (6X6) which contains auto shredder residue (recycled automobile components like door panels, consoles, dashboards, etc.) and lasts a super long time (guaranteed for 70 years). No rotting or splintering. Perfect for any outdoor, wet service condition. This product will not degrade over time, and will not leach preservatives into the surrounding soil.
XP stair tread package specs:
· 4 FT wide
· 18" steps
· straight runs
· 30/45/90 degree radius options

Spring cleaning...
While it's true that Wishbone site furnishings made with recycled plastic are vitually maintenance free, it is recommended that you occasionally take stock of the condition of the furniture, and from time to time, give them a good cleaning. Power wash, or a good scrub with a hard plastic bristle brush (potato scrubber) and mild detergent usually does the trick. Not only does this clean the dirt, grime and build up from general use, but also helps remove the outermost layer of plastic (very small fraction of an inch) that is caused by UV degradation and the elements.Make sure to tighten any loose connectors - movement of the plastic and metals caused by freeze/thaw cycles and expansion/contraction of the plastic may loosen them up. Remember not to over tighten connectors.

Another step...
in the right direction
Wishbone's New Recycling Station (Prototype Only)
Similar to our Modena solid top waste receptacle, the Recycling Station takes that product a step further, giving customers flexiblity in what they would like to collect. The Recycling Station can be customized (hole size, shape, wording) to suit any requirements. We are still soliciting feedback from customers and would value your input.
Modena Recycling Station
The Modena and Beselt lines of receptacles keep the rain and bugs out, and come with an optional foot pedal to open the swing door - a more sanitary approach for the public. An opening side door makes it easy for maintenance folks to access the liner.
Black on Black
Henry Ford quotes himself as saying "Any customer can have a car painted any colour he wants so long as it is black." While painting metal bench frames black is traditional, and looks sharp even when paired with black recycled plastic boards as shown above, Wishbone customers have many options when it comes to colour of frames... and we'll even color match to suit other site furnishings, buildings or lamps standards. Recycled plastic board colors are shown below.
Wishbone is the industry leader in the production and distribution of durable municipal grade site furnishings made with recycled components. Every piece of our benches, receptacles and picnic tables is sustainably constructed by transforming household waste such as milk jugs and pop cans into functional, long lasting furniture for your park, school, business, or personal residence.

Park officials in China have found a way to stop people from hogging their benches for too long - by fitting steel spikes on a coin-operated timer...
Can you say "ouch"!?

|  New views in public thinking often start in the halls and courtyards of universities and colleges across the country. Maybe that is why our latest installation of Nicolet Picnic Benches is so significant. No more is the debate over sustainability and environmental awareness as intense as it is on these campuses.
Wishbone Site Furnishings has become the natural choice. We have sustainability at the core of our business. We drive our business on environmentally sound practices. And of course, we like to add a little style to the public landscape!
These Nicolet Picnic Benches are a perfect compliment to the style and character that UBC-O is building in the North-end of Kelowna BC. In doing so these benches are built to last using recycled plastic lumber on a custom powder-coated frame.
Wishbone Site Furnishings are 100% Recyclable and available in 6 different board colours and a variety of custom powder coatings.

| What Every Waste Receptacle Should Have
There's a buzz surrounding this latest innovation. With more municipalities getting on board with recycling programs, decisions are being made, and budgets set aside, to manage recycling efforts in their communities. Rather than purchase expensive recycling containers just for bottles and cans, why not consider this economical approach - the Wishbone Bottle and Can Recycler.

| Tried and True Bench Designs... With a Twist
The "Full Frame" bench (now rebranded as the "Rutherford") has been the workhorse of Wishbone for a number of years. Municipalities like its full metal frame, robust design, and exceptional track record. And now it comes in a "Wide Body" format. Placing an angle on the armrest give the appearance that there is more room on the bench, and it actually "feels better" when you sit near an armrest.
