North Riding, Johannesburg, August, 2012: Eva-tech composite has long been a choice material for outdoor pergolas.  Now innovative systems allow Eva-tech pergolas to span further and with even greater durability.  The new line of Eva-tech pergola systems utilizes hollow composite beams which are reinforced by steel rods.  The steel remains hidden from view and protected from the elements by the composite casing, while adding significant extra strength to the composite beams.  The beams are connected to the ground by secure steel posts on either end, with optional Eva-tech composite casing.

The combination of weather resistant Eva-tech composite and hardy steel creates a long lasting pergola system that can be tailor made to suit nearly any application.  The Eva-tech Technical and Design Team has worked extensively with home and business owners to incorporate these new pergola systems in a variety of outdoor spaces.  Optional cladding along the end posts offers a bit of extra shade and protection from the wind.  Darker colours add a handsome touch of sophistication, while lighter colours complement beach side buildings.

North Riding, Johannesburg, May, 2012: Once again Grand Designs Live was a smash hit.  Grand Designs is consistently one of South Africa’s top home and design exhibitions.  This year nearly 30,000 visitors were treated to the cutting edge of African decor and innovation.  Eva-tech composite decking was among the most popular stands at the show.

Coca Cola Dome, Johannesburg, May 25 - 27, 2012: Once again Eva-tech composite decking will be featured at the Grand Designs Live exhibition in Johannesburg.  Eva-tech wood plastic composite (WPC) is expected to be a hit with homeowners and industry professionals alike.
