What Is a Hand-Sculpted Fiberglass Bark Trunk?
A fiberglass bark trunk is a sculpted shell modelled from real bark, finished by hand and mounted over a structural steel core. It is the premium trunk option and the detail that separates a commercial specimen from a retail plant.
How it is builtThe shell is sculpted and finished by hand, then mounted over a galvanized steel frame core that carries the load. The bark you see is finish; the steel inside is structure.
The standard alternativeNatural treated wood is the standard trunk. Fiberglass bark is the premium option where the tree is seen close up or photographed — receptions, fine dining, boutique hotels.
