NatureKast has been running out of Ontario since 2015, when a team of Canadian distributors purchased it & moved operations from Florida. Once Mike had perfected the process, NatureKast was born! After seeing realistic “stone” panels created using resin and PVC plastics, he got an idea for making moulds from natural wood cabinets. So what’s the story? NatureKast is the brain child of Mike Moras, who had become frustrated with the limitations that come with using natural wood in an outdoor setting. What you have is a game changer! It’s not easy for a company to make one of my wildest design dreams a reality, but NatureKast passes the test with flying colours. Beautiful woodgrain texture, rich colour, waterproof cabinets, and a dazzling array of custom inserts & modular conveniences! Now, take away the time and cost of maintaining it and protecting it from the elements. Picture, if you will, a luxury outdoor kitchen with all the fixings. Go to backyards page to learn more!
