Outdoor Living Today

Congratulations on Completing
your 8 x 12 Sunshed!

Note:

Our buildings are

shipped as an unfinished
product. If exposed to the
elements, the western red
cedar lumber will weather to
a silvery-gray color. If you
prefer to keep the cedar
lumber looking closer to the
original color, we suggest
that you treat the wood with
a good oil base wood stain.
You may also wish to paint
your new shed rather than
stain it. In both cases we
recommend that you
consult with a paint and
stain dealer in your area for
their recommendations.
