Abstract
A structural member adapted for constructing lawn furniture, outdoor gym equipment and the like includes a hollow, rigid outer member provided with a reinforcing coextruded integral inner member. The structural member is fabricated from plastic material, such as polyvinylchloride extrusions, so as to be light-weight, durable, impervious to weather conditions and suitable for mass production techniques. A threaded plug may be inserted within the inner member to facilitate rigid interconnection of the structural members to provide furniture having a rugged and sturdy design.
