History and Construction This River Pod was built in 2018 and has a floating system made from HDPE, which is lightweight yet super-strong. It is recycled and super buoyant. It comes with a 125-year guarantee. Oxygen, salt and water do not affect HDPE; it is not affected by the ravages of time. It does not need to be painted or anti-fouled. The River Pod floatation system will never need to be removed from the water for maintenance or cleaning, unlike all other boat hulls. HDPE offers zero corrosion and thus, zero maintenance.
