Easy on the eyes and easy on our planet!

Features:

• 36" opening, 88" high, 24" deep, 45 lbs
• Optional Anchor Kit available - usually not necessary for this size arbor
• Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:
  
  • Sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed local woodlots
  • Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
  • The cedar is cut from forests in Canada. The largest trees are targeted as they have the most pulp and they convert the least amount of Co2 to oxygen. Clearing of old growth allows for younger growth to flourish and convert more carbon dioxide. The forest are never clear cut and cedar is plentiful throughout Canada.
  • The entire tree is used - limbs and cuttings are turned into different cedar products, such as mulch, oils, and cedar chips. The trunk is used for fencing components and shingles and the smaller pieces are used to make our furniture and garden accents; scraps are used for cedar chips, mulch, and shavings.
    
  • No chemical treatments, preventing harsh chemicals from leeching into the ground and water supplies. Stains are not used or needed; left untreated, cedar turns a pleasing silver-gray with exposure to sunlight.
  • Wood biodegrades - At the end of its long and useful life, cedar furniture won’t occupy any landfill space. Wood breaks down very quickly in landfills, less than 25 years. Plastics can take up to a millennium to decompose.
• Unfinished cedar will provide many years of service outdoors - no finish is required.
• Cedar is an excellent thermal insulator - that means that even on the hottest days, it is cool to touch and sit on.
• Our cedar is natural and untreated (why is this important?)
• Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine.
• Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory's highest rating for decay and disease resistance.
• Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent.
• Our cedar products are shipped in their natural color, reddish tan to creamy white. The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray.  Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process. Latex paint coats evenly and lets wood breathe.
• Some assembly required
• Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates.
• 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
• Free shipping via UPS Ground to the continental US!

Reduced pollution - Rustic Natural Cedar Furniture Company and Tick-n-Thistle reduces the carbon footprint and pollution by strategic placement of facilities. The mill is in Quebec, Canada, in the type of climate that cedar flourishes. The sole distribution center is in Rhode Island, USA. The forests are very close to the mill and the distribution center is only 6 hours away. From the warehouse, we ship directly to the end user, reducing the number of times that the order is shipped. This logistics system minimizes the number of times that a product is transported, therefore reducing the carbon output.

Quality furniture lasts - Unlike plastic, bamboo, or some metal furniture and garden accents, cedar planters, arbors, garden accents and furniture are durable and will last many years. Our solid construction holds up in any climate, year round. You won't find yourself replacing every other year.
