Hello Everyone

I’m the owner and founder of TREAD Outdoors and a carpenter/joiner by trade; working across the construction / residential housing sectors and managing medium sized architectural design teams, for nearly 30 years.

I’m also an artist - working various mediums from WA jarrah, Tasmanian Huon Pine, epoxy resin, through to sculpting - and have been lucky enough to have some photography published by Australian Geographic.

I channelled much of this creativity into TREAD Outdoors, realising that a range of very practical solutions were staring me right in the face. All I needed to do was meld carbon fibre, high quality design and composite plastic. Within six months we were developing solutions people desperately needed.

Carbon fibre is the future. In my view, if we can integrate plants and natural environments within beautifully designed commercial and residential busildings, then we can integrate the beauty of carbon fibre into these designs.

Many steel pole applications - signs, railing, bollards - are crude to look at and over engineered. We replace many of them with carbon fibre and deliver an outcome that is far more sustainable and appealing. With our own in-house design team and ability to prototype concepts cheaply, we deliver a significant edge. We can also produce high quality plastic designs at a 40% discount to the plastic injection moulding prices offered at present.

TREAD Outdoor is my passion and more than a business - it’s an experience. And if you have any questions or amazing ideas I can help with, please feel free to reach out.

Kind regards

Dean
