Know before you buy
LP Smartside Panels are engineered to resist the common issues associated with traditional wood, such as rotting, splitting, cracking, and warping. This makes the lighthouse significantly more durable and lower maintenance when exposed to the elements.
Unfinished models arrive without a protective coating and must be treated immediately upon delivery. You should apply a high-quality exterior paint, sealant, or stain to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage.
Some assembly is required, though the exact process depends on the size and configuration you choose. You will typically need basic hand tools to secure the sections together, but the structure is designed for straightforward setup.
Yes, you can select from a standard 25W bulb, a revolving beacon, or a solar LED system. The solar option is ideal if you do not have an electrical outlet nearby, while the revolving beacon provides the most authentic lighthouse aesthetic.
Consider the scale of your surrounding landscape; the heights range from 29 inches for smaller garden beds to 113 inches for a prominent focal point. Be sure to check the base diameter of your chosen model, which can reach up to 38 inches, to ensure you have a level, stable spot for installation.
The weight varies significantly by size, with the largest 113-inch model weighing 175 pounds. While the structure is sturdy, if you live in an area prone to high winds, you may want to consider securing the base to a concrete pad or using ground anchors.
