WerEver's Proprietary Joint - Strongest in the Industry
Our hardware-free joint is locked in place. This allows the joint to expand and contract without loosening. With no other materials of different density introduced into the joint, expansion and contraction caused by outdoor temperature changes occurs at the same rate, allowing the joint to move together as one piece. This technique is exclusive to WerEver's manufacturing process. Other competitors are using woodworking techniques that simply won't work with marine grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Other competitors still use glue and adhesives to hold various pieces together. You can do your own test. Get a free sample kit and try gluing the pieces together with the strongest glue you can find. Then try to break the joint. You will be surprised how easy a glued joint can break.

Competitor #1 Cabinet
This is an actual picture of a competitor's cabinet. While their cabinet may look similar from a distance, this joint is not as strong. As the cabinet is exposed to temperature changes outdoors, the material will expand and contract, loosening the joint. Plus, the joint is only secured at points compared to the continuous strength of our hardware-free joint. This technique is acceptible for products used inside a temperature controlled environment (indoor). Unless you live in a climate that never changes, these connectors WILL wiggle loose over time. And further, the metal inside these connectors is not stainless steel.

Competitor #3 Product Trial - by WerEver Products Inc.
A fabrication technique for HDPE sheets is to weld joints. Another competitor welds their structural joints. This technique is not new, and is an acceptible technique for some applications. However, for a structural joint under a load, the stress when combined with expansion and contraction will cause this joint to break over time. This picture is of a three year test conducted by WerEver Products of a welded joint. Initially, the weld held strong, but as the cabinet was tested outside, exposed to temperature changes, the weld broke.
