Most shelves fail outdoors — they swell, gray out, rot, or become an insect's home within a few seasons. This one is built from Accoya, a wood engineered specifically to live outside: it is designed to withstand the elements for fifty years without rotting, and because its cell structure is chemically altered through acetylation, insects and fungi cannot recognize it as food, so termites and rot simply pass it by. It weathers to a handsome dark gray with cool blue undertones, the kind of finish that suits a patio, a porch, or an exterior wall rather than fighting it. Like our indoor shelves, it is made to your size: choose 1.25 inches thick, in lengths up to 54 inches, or 1.75 inches for lengths up to 90, cut to the depth your space needs. Each ships with the matched Studlock bracket for its thickness, hidden for the same clean floating look our indoor shelves have — and if you are mounting to a concrete or cement wall, we would point you to Tapcon screws for a secure hold. It works on a fully exposed wall, under a covered patio, or indoors if you simply want the Accoya look, and it is made to order in the USA.
