WEBEs were designed with the human dimensions and activities in mind.  Applied ergonomics offer many comfortable seating options. No doubt users will continue to invent many ways to use them!

  • Sit Lounge Climb Sleep Relax Read Dine Socialize Shade Windbreak Jump

Embedded shafts can hold an umbrella or tether a dog. WEBEs may also be flipped, rotated, combined for more user options.

WEBEs are designed to support waterborne activities.  They are buoyant and may be tethered together or to an anchor to form a platform.

  • Fish Dive Swim Float Sunbathe Snorkel Net

Embedded shafts may hold a fishing rod or support tethers. As a floating platform, WEBEs offer a place to rest gear or snacks while users enjoy the water.
