  • Water Garden Bridges the Centuries
    Throughout the centuries, every culture has held a fascination for water, bringing it into their backyards for use in water gardens, fountains, spouts, pools, streams, and waterfalls. Integral to these water gardens, the garden bridge essentially ties the whole scene together, giving it a sense of continuity, wholeness, and intimacy. CedarStore.com has treated pine, red cedar, and white cedar foot bridges, Japanese foot garden bridges, and 3-foot-wide garden bridges, from 4 to 14 feet long.
  • Teak Patio Furniture Has Enduring Charm
    For centuries, teakwood has been highly prized for its radiant beauty, as well as its incredible strength and natural decay-resistance. It is produced by the Tectona Grandis tree, which is indigenous to Asia, and was once considered to be a royal tree in Thailand. Long used for making roofing and siding, walls, floors, doors, mantels, cabinets, closets, picture frames, and sculptures, teak is now one of the most popular woods for making patio furniture.
  • Picnic Tables Are Still In Style After Labor Day
    Although most people have been used to storing their picnic tables during the winter, because of some of the improvements in wood treatments, as well as the introduction of many new, synthetic materials, some modern tables may be left outside all year long. In addition to cedar, pine, oak, and teak tables, AllPicnicTables.com has picnic tables made from virtually indestructible vinyl, polywood, thermoplastic-coated steel, aluminum, and fiberglass picnic tables.
  • Outdoor Furniture Needs Accessories Too
    We spend hours, days, and weeks in search of the perfect accessories for our homes; so why should we neglect the finishing touches when furnishing our porches, patios, decks, gazebos, and backyards?

  • Outdoor Furniture fit for Royalty
    If a person’s home is her or his castle, it may be because of the countless modern conveniences that allow us to live like royalty. However, with all of the state-of-the-art electronics, appliances, and furniture crowding us inside, people are enclosing their porches and patios, or building gazebos to use as outside rooms, and outdoor furniture is becoming as important as the indoor furnishings. CedarStore.com has the traditional favorites, made from cedar, pine, oak, cherry, and teak...
  • Gazebos Are Building Excitement
    After you’ve ordered the gazebo that you’ve always wanted, you may be concerned about how long it will take to construct it, and how much help you will need. Gazebos from GazeboCreations.com are shipped partially assembled, in easy-to-build kits. In most cases, using only a screw gun, a level, and a hammer, you should be able to assemble most gazebos in an afternoon, or, with some of the larger, double-roof models, over the weekend.
  • Covered Garden Bridges Have Long Lifespans
    For two hundred years, covered bridges have sparked fascination, imagination, and admiration across the nation. Nostalgic symbols of a more innocent time, they have been the subjects of debate over the years. Many theories have been put forth about why they were originally covered, though the purely practical reason was simply to protect them from the elements. Although many people think that the era of covered bridges is long gone, others are discovering that a new generation is just beginning, at CedarStore.com, where you can customize a covered bridge, in three simple steps, for your own creek, stream, or walkway.
  • Covered Garden Bridges Cross Over to 21st Century
    When Philadelphia Judge Richard Peters proposed the very first covered bridge in 1804, he had no way of knowing what he was starting. Besides causing a wellspring of folklore about the reasons for covering the bridge, it also led to multiple uses for covered bridges, beyond travel across streams. Today, covered bridges spark nostalgia for a simpler, more innocent time. At CedarStore.com, you can customize your own gorgeous covered bridge in three simple steps, choosing from a variety of sizes, styles, materials, and accessories.
