PatioPads.com stands as one of the websites under the ownership of Island Coast Furniture, Inc., a registered Corporation in Florida.
The origins trace back to Pipefine Patio Furniture Company, which commenced the design and production of PVC patio furniture in 1968. Initially requiring cushions and slings, Pipefine collaborated with another furniture manufacturer for their production.
In 2007, a shift in ownership led to the scaling back of the retail operation, emphasizing an Internet-based approach with the introduction of PipefinePatioFurniture.com. This strategic move expanded sales and distribution nationally, transcending local boundaries.
The pivotal decision in 2008 involved discontinuing manufacturing, opting for an exclusive distribution model, outsourcing products from various manufacturers. While challenging, this decision marked the end of the 40-year-old outdoor furniture manufacturing legacy of Pipefine branded products. The closure of the factory and retail store led to an exclusive focus on online sales and marketing, proving advantageous during the subsequent recession, as the company was not solely locally-dependent.
The company’s growth and adaptability persist, with the product range extending to encompass medical equipment and furniture, also crafted from PVC pipe. PatioPads.com, the replacement cushion division, excels in providing outdoor cushions for a diverse array of patio furniture brands. Boasting the largest selection of outdoor fabric options on the Internet, PatioPads.com offers over 400 fabrics, including the renowned Sunbrella® range.
