Free Backyard Project Plans
from the California Redwood Association
Detailed do-it-yourself plans for outdoor
porch, patio and garden furniture and planters. These free, instant download plans
include detailed artwork, materials lists and step-by-step building
instructions.
Quality landscape architecture
requires building materials that are beautiful and long-lasting.
Materials need to withstand environmental elements yet retain their
symmetry and aesthetic purpose. Redwood has a well-known reputation
for meeting these requirements. Equally important, there are
cost-effective redwood grades to specify for every project, whether
it is a public plaza or a residential garden.
Performance is more than
durability. Redwood has qualities not found in other woods-even
woods treated with chemicals. Redwood performance
characteristics include resistance to shrinking, warping and
checking in addition to durability. This means redwood projects
age beautifully. Decks, fences and garden structures made with
redwood simply look better ten, fifteen and twenty years after
construction.
Visit the California Redwood
Associations website for more information and free, expert
construction and finishing guides.
