A Unique Craftsman Trellis!
New for Spring 2012, this Craftsman style garden trellis is perfect for a garden or yard focal point. Its beefy red cedar construction with integrated Motawi tiles set it apart from any other trellis "out there". Red cedar is highly resistant to rot and decay and will last for many years.
This Craftsman style trellis is great for that prized clematis vine or climbing rose, making it the talk of the neighborhood. Wall mount trellises are great as an architectural accent or to help cover up an unsightly wall surface.
Our Craftsman style garden trellis was designed by Oak Park Home & Hardware and crafted in Chicago by Galewood Lattice. Customization is available. Please inquire.

Yes. We ship certain items to customers overseas.
Just this week, we shipped 8 Frank Lloyd Wright Dana House Vases to my customer in Australia. Shipping a product this large and this heavy was a first for us and quite a challenge. Fortunately, we work with some fantastic manufacturers and suppliers that have the experience to facilitate such a massive task. In this case, Nichols Bros Stoneworks took care of everything for us. The 8 Frank Lloyd Wright Planter Vases were crated and shipped by ship from the Port Of Seattle and destined for The Port Of Melbourne. Of course, the shipping cost was quite high. Interestingly, one of the greater costs is the inspection of the wood used to build the crates. Apparently, all wood that is shipped overseas need to be inspected for contamination and pests.
We have been shipping Internationally for many years. There are certain countries in which we will not ship to however. We ship to Canada frequently and have also shipped to the UK, Japan, Australia, and Spain. If at all possible, we try to ship via USPS. This is more work for us but it can save our customers considerable costs such as Customs fees associated with shipping via UPS or FedEx.
If you are considering ordering and shipping any of our products Internationally, then please contact us for a cost estimate. We do verify the validity of all International buyers.

Mounting house numbers or house markers onto stucco can be a challenge. Some stucco surfaces can be very uneven, wavy, or brittle.
Most individual house numbers or house number plaques come with matching screws only.
We recommend purchasing standard plastic anchor inserts.
The house number screws will then screw into the plastic anchors.
Before drilling anything, measure twice and use a level (we cannot stress this enough).
Use a masonry drill bit for drilling your holes. Use a smaller sized drill bit first and then widen with a drill bit sized appropriate for the plastic anchors.
You can squirt some silicone adhesive or exterior grade silicone caulk into the holes to hold the anchors in more securely if you like
Now...here is the challenge....
The stucco surface is uneven.
So what you can do is use some very small washers (around the screws and behind the numbers or plaque) to raise the numbers or plaque off from the stucco surface.
You can play around with this using more washers on some screws than others in order to get an even look. Try and use brass washers if possible.
The result will be sort of a "floating" look as if it were mounted with stand offs.
But this is a far better look than a haphazard uneven appearance.
We also offer Craftsman style house number backer boards for mounting individual house numbers.
