Berlin Gardens

What Berlin Gardens does

Berlin Gardens, LLC is a privately held outdoor living products manufacturer headquartered in Berlin, Ohio, operating from a single facility in the heart of Amish Country. Founded around 1988, the company employs 101-250 people and produces handcrafted poly lumber outdoor furniture, cushions, fire pits, and outdoor structures including gazebos, pavilions, and pergolas. Its core manufacturing technology centers on High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Marine Grade Poly (MGP) sheets, fabricated with stainless steel hardware using a combination of advanced machinery and traditional Amish woodworking skills passed down through generations; products are built with 95% recycled content.

The company's product portfolio has expanded well beyond seating and dining into adjacent categories. It operates the Agora outdoor cabinetry sub-brand (modular grill, sink, and island cabinets with soft-close hardware) and the Lily Hive accent sub-brand (throw pillows and poufs), and has added aluminum furniture alongside its HDPE and MGP lines. In April 2025, Berlin Gardens acquired Windward Design Group, adding a wholly-owned subsidiary brand and broadening its outdoor furniture and design footprint; deal terms were not disclosed.

Berlin Gardens generates revenue exclusively through one-time hardware sales of furniture, structures, and accessories via an authorized dealer network in the United States; it does not sell directly to consumers. Pricing is not disclosed publicly, and customers are directed to find a dealer through the company website. The company supports dealers through a dedicated portal providing marketing resources and account management, and enforces channel exclusivity by voiding warranties on non-authorized sales. End customers are predominantly residential homeowners seeking durable, low-maintenance outdoor living products for patios, decks, porches, pool areas, and outdoor kitchens.
