Exterior Wood Shutters
Many times during the long process of planning and executing a home improvement task the exterior of the house is neglected, this happens mainly due to the reason that most people think that they will be unable to perform home improvement tasks, and also because these seem like major tasks in terms of budget and work.
The truth is that a lot of these tasks are indeed demanding, but you need to separate the costly and energy consuming work from the work that will make a significant change in the exterior of the house and that will probably make you feel very satisfied with your work and investment for a long time.
Wood shutters are a wonderful thing for houses, they create a uniform look for the houses windows, the good thing about wood shutters is that they really help cover up a lot of the houses windows flaws, like making small windows appear larger and create a theme that connects all the houses windows, so if you have a small window that disturbs you or if you have a very large window that seems to be to big in contrast with the other windows, wood shutters will solve that.
The wood shutter is also a very practice shutter to have, you can protect it as with all other wood products, with different colors and sprays, there is such a huge wood color and protection products market that you will be sure to find the right product for you, and if used properly these products can make sure that you use the wood shutters for a long time.
The easiness of wood painting will allow you to change the house look from time to time, in a relatively easy task of painting it a different color, you can also skip the cleaning process and just decide that you will paint your wood shutters every 4 months, it will not save you money but it will make your house look great all year long.
The cost of wood shutters is directly linked to the windows you have at your house, if you have a lot of windows you will need to place shutters on all of them, and if you have unusual window sizes in you house you will probably need to order custom made window shutters, although some experts keep a large verity of sizes, most regular home improvement shops have a limited selection of window sizes. This may prove to be a budget problem, but than again, if your windows are out of proportion this is probably one thing you would like to solve and the costs of wood shutters is still much lower than the cost of replacing your windows.
One more thing to consider is the type of wood that the shutter is made of, you should try and find the material that is best for your house environment and area climate, cedar is usually recommend by default, the cedar wood is very strong and durable, making it a perfect fit for an exterior shutter, bare in mind that you will still need to get all of the wood protection and maintenance product to take care of it.

Easy to assemble, good instructions. Shelves on flimsy side, after reading reviews (advise using wood to strengthen) they’re fine for light pots and seedlings. It’s stood through a very windy day and torrential down pour. Very quick delivery too. Would recommend.

They are great except the screws they come with are kind of thick and make a decent size hole in the wall.

For Went together well but needs two people to fit the lid. Main issue is that it is not weather-proof, heavy rain can blow in through the gap between the lid and the walls. It has has lots of places for wildlife to get in and set up home among the contents eg wasps and hornets, ants and mice which could either damage contents or give a nasty surprise if not regulary checked for. Soft furnishings would need to be kept in sealed vacuum bags to prevent mould from internal high humidity.Found condensation under the lid after chilly night. Not really designed for the British climate, unfortunately as it is a good size and appears strongly made. Otherwise it would be good value for money. Took nearly a month to arrive but probably due to Covid 19. More secure and easier to move around if it had locking points at each end of the lid which bends if you lift at the ends. There are hand holds at the ends but these are very shallow and not easy to lift by

Exactly what I wanted. I just painted this room a dark color and had an empty space on the wall. I wanted to put something's with texture or three dimensional and something light colored to offset the dark background. I also wanted something a bit more organic soI put fake little plants inside. They look great!

Perfect size, very sturdy and bonus that the middle lifts up to make a table. My only complaint is that its color is already fading in the sun. Im going to try waxing it to see if that helps, but overall Im pleased.

This was really difficult to put together, but once we finally figured it out (after three hours) is it beautiful and sturdy.

We were surprised how heavy was the package, (poor UPS guy!). It was easy for the two of us to put together. Bench is perfect near our grill, allows the cook a place to sit, and place a drink on the table. I only gave it 4 stars as there was damage to the wood under the table, which is only noticeable when table is up AND if it is pointed out!

I love the look of these. In the picture they appear to have a gloss on them which I liked for rain, or easy wipe off, but they don't actually have that sheen. There are a few spots on them that did not get stained well, so the color is not completely even. They are very comfortable, but creak quite a bit when sitting and getting up. I don't believe they are really heavy duty like they look. It is nice to have the large arms on them to put a plate or drink.
