Add a Deck
This one is obvious and is talked about just about everywhere. Whether you have an existing deck that needs to be replaced or repaired or maybe you don’t have a deck and are finally ready to add on, we can help! Cedar is ideal for decks because of its natural beauty and easy upkeep. With using cedar, as long as it is installed properly and sealed annually, you will have no problems with your deck.
Pergola
Adding shade to your deck can instantly make it feel like a whole new space. It can also make it more enjoyable. A pergola is the perfect way to add some functionality to your backyard while also enhancing your overall design. Pergolas can be built in many ways, which makes it easy for homeowners to match their wants and needs when it comes to the design.
Hideaway
Having a space where you can entertain family and friends is great, but sometimes you just need a space for yourself that you can go to and be zen. The great thing about cedar is that you can use it for just about anything. So, why not build a zen space like a gazebo that is away from everything and is a place you can escape to? It may not be for everyone, but don’t knock it till you try it.
Cedar Sectional
One of the main necessities for any backyard space is seating. Buying outdoor furniture can be very expensive and overwhelming, so why not build you own sectional? Cedar is beautiful and raw which makes it the perfect material for any furniture. You can stain it if you want a more complete look or you can seal it with a clear sealer and give you patio or deck a raw, natural look.
Outdoor Furniture
Along with your sectional, you can also use cedar to build a picnic table, additional seating or small side tables. Be as creative as you want!
Storage
Storage solutions are a great way to clean up your space and make you backyard look straight out of a magazine. You can use cedar to build an affordable storage shed or a bench that opens for extra hidden storage.
Planter Boxes
Adding some plants and greenery to your outdoor space is perfect. Build small planter boxes for your patio and larger ones to act as center pieces.
