While our stand is made of wood with steel running gear, we have been using stainless steel, copper, aluminum, HDPE & PVC as items need replacing. We do this for 2 reasons, first to be compatible with a food service, second is to reduce long-term maintenance. For example, the front window covers were made of wood but rotted out after 10 years. We change the design to be flush on the outside, so water would not sit on an edge and used PVC expanded sheeting with wooden reinforcing on the inside, so we wouldn’t have to replace them for many years. The decorative shutters were made from colored PVC sheeting, glued together and mounted with SS screws, as we found that using SS hardware would also last much longer, and continue to look nice much longer than plated steel.
