Building your outdoor living products: we take care of finish, weathering and certification
Outdoor living products are bought on appearance and returned on corrosion. That combination puts two requirements on the supplier at once. The visible surfaces are cosmetic parts, so handling damage between operations matters as much as the finish specification itself, and every transfer between vendors is a risk. The product then spends its life outdoors, so material grade, coating specification and the treatment of cut edges and weld seams decide whether it still looks acceptable in the second season. Gas products add certification to a market-specific standard, which constrains the design rather than being applied to it afterwards. YBT develops its own products in this sector, so the same team handles the cosmetic surface, the corrosion specification and the certification path.
What you check first, and how we handle it
| Criterion | Why it matters here | Where we answer it |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic surface quality | Product is bought on appearance; handling damage between operations is the main risk | Surface & assembly |
| Corrosion performance | Weather exposure decides whether the product survives a second season | SUS304 family stainless or powder-coated steel; salt spray test chamber and coating thickness gauge in house. See Quality |
| Gas certification | Product cannot be sold without it, and it constrains the design | CE under Regulation (EU) 2016/426 and cETLus to CSA/ANSI Z83.26 held on YBT’s own heaters. See Certifications |
| Finished-goods delivery | Brands want a packed unit, not components to assemble | ODM Solutions |
| Volume consistency | Seasonal demand means a large batch must be uniform | About 3,000 finished appliances a month, indicative. See Capabilities |
