What customers say
Consumers consistently celebrate the exceptional quality and authentic design of this replica lighthouse.

Know before you buy
The hybrid design combines the traditional aesthetic of wood with the weather resistance of poly. By using poly for the top and base—the areas most exposed to moisture and ground contact—the structure is significantly more durable against rot and decay than an all-wood model.
The integrated sensor automatically detects ambient light levels to turn your lighthouse on at sunset and off at sunrise. This feature is included across all lighting configurations, including the standard 25W bulb, rotating beacons, and solar LED systems.
Yes. You can opt for a standard electrical connection for consistent power or select the solar LED option if you prefer a cordless setup that doesn't require proximity to an outdoor outlet.
Standard sizes range from 2 to 6 feet, with custom options reaching up to 12 feet. Consider the scale of your surrounding landscape; a 2-foot model works well for flower beds or small ponds, while 4- to 6-foot models serve as better focal points for larger open lawn spaces.
The base is optional but recommended if you want to add height or create a more finished, elevated look. You can order the lighthouse without a base if you prefer to mount it directly onto a deck or a custom-built platform.
The warning is included because the lighthouse contains wood dust, which is a substance identified by the state of California as potentially causing cancer. This is a standard disclosure for many handcrafted wooden products and does not impact the structural integrity or safety of the item during normal outdoor use.
