Redwood can not only be used to provide space to enjoy the beautiful weather we love; it can also give shelter when the weather is less than ideal.
Using redwood lumber on a shade structure project puts the heat-diffusing qualities to work overhead, offering a cool place to relax and enjoy your yard on the sunniest day. From simple to elegant in design, any shelter built out of redwood will deliver when it’s needed most for many years to come.
