Compact Deck
Two handy people with intermediate building skills can build this Southern Pine compact deck in a weekend, giving you a little extra space designated for entertaining and relaxing above the yard. Build it with versatile pressure-treated Southern Pine lumber, and your new deck will provide many years of outdoor living enjoyment.
Dog House
Even Fido deserves to live in style. Pressure-treated Southern Pine is safe for use around people, plants — AND pets. Here’s a project that’s easily accomplished in one weekend. Make it a family project. Your four-legged best friend will be the envy of the neighborhood.
Ground-Level Deck
Decks can work wonders in many ways: contemporary in style, yet simple and natural. They blend home and landscape with broad, inviting vistas creating a feeling of freedom and expansiveness. Sometimes the best room of the house is outside on the wood deck!
Planter Bench
Outdoor accents to your deck or patio can be comfortable and useful. A planter bench can function much like your indoor sofa or end tables. When your project is complete, add your choice of plants and decorations, have a seat, and enjoy your latest addition to better outdoor living.
Playhouse
Pick a spot and get started with the beautiful American Gothic Playhouse that your kids will love. The design of the playhouse includes 35 square feet of interior space plus a two-foot wide front porch. The overall design along with the elaborate trim and spire can accent any home.
Sandbox/Pool/Play deck
What’s more fun and relaxing than a backyard play deck? Enjoy the warm sun and a glass of lemonade while the little ones play in the sand or water. That’s right: you can build a play deck that includes a sandbox or a pool. Or, why not make two play decks side-by-side – one with a sandbox and one with a pool!
Storage Shed
Is your garage or basement full, yet you need extra storage for your lawn furniture, gardening supplies, camping gear, pool equipment, bicycles, tools, and other odds and ends? An outdoor storage shed is the answer. When you build one with durable pressure-treated Southern Pine, you can count on long-lasting protection for all those items you need to stash away and secure.
Trash Can & Firewood Storage Unit
Most people prefer not to have trash cans and firewood as part of their backyard landscape. Pressure-treated Southern Pine offers an answer. Use it to build a storage unit to organize the woodpile and conceal your trash containers.
Trellis
A trellis can function as a unique sunscreen or the framework for an outdoor hanging garden. And building it with pressure-treated Southern Pine lumber adds durability to its beauty. The waterborne preservative used for pressure-treated Southern Pine is nonleachable and will not harm plants. The best part is, this can be built above a deck to add even more appeal!
