Know before you buy
LP Smartside Panels are engineered to resist rot, fungal decay, and termite damage, making them significantly more durable than traditional wood. This construction ensures your lighthouse maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal despite constant exposure to the elements.
If you purchase an unfinished model, you must apply a high-quality exterior paint or wood sealer immediately after assembly to protect the material from moisture. Finished models come pre-treated and do not require immediate additional coating.
The lighthouse arrives as a kit that requires basic assembly. While the specific steps depend on the size and model, you should expect to spend some time following the included instructions to secure the panels and install the lighting components.
The solar-powered LED option is the most convenient choice, as it eliminates the need for electrical wiring or external power sources. It automatically charges during the day and illuminates at night, making it ideal for placement anywhere in your yard.
A base provides a stable, level foundation that elevates the lighthouse slightly off the ground, which helps prevent moisture wicking from the soil into the structure. If you are placing the lighthouse on a concrete patio or a deck, you may opt for the base-less version, but a base is highly recommended for placement directly on grass or mulch.
The revolving beacon typically requires a consistent power draw that exceeds the capacity of standard solar setups. For the authentic rotating light effect, we recommend choosing the plug-in electrical option.
