Know before you buy
The hybrid design uses a wooden center for structural integrity while utilizing durable poly materials for the top and base. This combination protects the areas most exposed to moisture and ground contact, significantly extending the lifespan of the lighthouse.
All lighting options include a built-in sensor that automatically detects ambient light levels. The lighthouse will turn on at sunset and shut off at sunrise, ensuring your garden is illuminated without requiring manual intervention.
The base adds height and a more substantial, finished look to the lighthouse, making it ideal for open lawn settings. If you plan to place the structure on a raised platform, deck, or a custom stone foundation, the lighthouse-only option may be more appropriate.
The rotating halogen beacon provides a traditional, warm glow with a mechanical rotation, while the rotating LED beacon offers a more energy-efficient, modern light source. Both options create the classic sweeping light effect characteristic of a real lighthouse.
Yes, the window lighting is an additional feature that illuminates the interior of the lighthouse structure. It provides a soft, ambient glow through the windows, complementing the primary light at the top.
Due to the significant height and weight of the 12ft model, we recommend a level, stable surface such as a concrete pad or a reinforced gravel base. Ensure the site is clear of low-hanging branches and is properly anchored to withstand high winds.
