The straight answers.

The spec
188 × 92 × 25cm, 26kg, supports 200kg. Recycled HDPE X-trestle legs, two galvanised steel poles (26.9mm OD × 2.6mm wall, 1950mm length), heavy-duty Australian canvas. Assembles in ~5 minutes with no tools; the canvas is the structure.
The price
$750 for a single Stretch Bed. Each bed diverts 20kg of plastic from landfill.
Lead time
Beds are made in batches, not warehoused. We confirm your dispatch window when you order rather than promise a number we have not measured.
Freight
Freight is quoted by destination. Remote deliveries carry real freight costs and we say so up front; for bulk or community orders, contact us for a quote before you buy.
How long it lasts
Designed to last 10+ years in remote conditions. That is the design intent, not yet a field-proven number, and we will say so until it is.
Who fixes it
We do. Every bed carries a QR code: scan it to report an issue, and we arrange the repair or replacement and stay reachable by SMS. The canvas is washable and replaceable.
