Durattan is a plastic composite so it stretches. Yet its tensile strength is 3,700psi, so it is rather hard to stretch. When impacted with something such as a sledge hammer the material will dent rather than crack, splinter, or shatter. If used as a rattan stand-in and not abused, rattan will give long before Durattan will.
