Know before you buy
LP Smartside is engineered to resist rot, splitting, and warping, making it significantly lower maintenance than traditional cedar or pine. If you choose an unfinished model, you will need to apply a high-quality exterior paint or stain to protect the wood from the elements.
The lighthouse arrives in sections to ensure safe transport. You will need basic tools to secure the segments together and attach the top lantern housing to the base.
Yes, you can select your preferred lighting configuration during the ordering process. The solar LED option is ideal if you do not have an outdoor electrical outlet nearby, while the standard 25W bulb or revolving beacon requires a hardwired connection.
Because these lighthouses are handcrafted by Amish artisans using natural materials, you may notice slight variations in wood grain or small knots. These characteristics are normal and contribute to the unique, authentic look of each piece.
The base provides a wider footprint and added weight, which is recommended for taller models or areas prone to high winds. If you are placing the lighthouse on a flat, stable surface like a concrete patio, the base is optional, but it is highly suggested for lawn installations.
Consider the scale of your surrounding landscape; the 29-inch model works well as a tabletop or small garden accent, while the larger models (up to 113 inches) serve as significant focal points. Ensure you have enough clearance for the specific base diameter of your chosen model to ensure a stable fit.
