The Cottage Classic Ensemble includes everything you need to create your own outdoor haven. These beautiful pieces are constructed of a unique combination of durable Southern Cypress and acrylic stain with a sanded weathered look creating an ageless country cottage look. Choose from a variety of acrylic color stains to suit your mood or outdoor decor. Southern Cypress contains an oil called cypressene a natural preservative that prevents rot and decay. Unlike pine Southern Cypress resists cracking and splitting. These pieces are finished with a Cuprinol water-based acrylic deck-and-rail stain that further enhances the ability of the wood to resist cracking and splitting. This finish will not crack peel or rub off onto your clothing and the stainless steel hardware won’t rust. This product is shipped partially assembled; all necessary fasteners and easy-to-follow instructions are included. Ensemble shown above in sage.

Paint does effectively seal the wood – temporarily. It’s the unpainted areas you can’t see that create the problems. Screw holes on the underside of every board for instance invite moisture to work its way under the painted surface. With no place for the water to go the result is rotting wood under the surface. Painted Cypress products will begin to deteriorate within two years if left outside in the weather. A water-based or oil-based stain on the other hand allows the wood to breathe. Any moisture that gets in can still get out. After the color stain is applied to each Cottage Classic piece it is lightly sanded to create a slightly weathered look.
