Simple to Complex Outdoor Power Lighting So Easy
Outdoor lighting gives an inviting and restful ambience. There are several simple ways to present a luminous atmospheric luster to your outdoor living area. For example, giving new life to an old light fixture such as a discarded chandelier or pendant light with battery operated bulbs or candles. White Christmas lights if strategically applied can create an amazing source of light strung across a patio or around a tree, for an outdoor room. Paper lanterns can add a rainbow of color and come in several sizes and can add some warmth. For an organic, casual look, a hanging pot or Mason jar with candles and/or succulent plants can add so much with very little effort.
Featured here are two ShadeScape™ pavilions with outdoor lighting. One is simple lighting commonly found in outdoor living areas as mentioned above. The second pavilion is more sophisticated, long-term lighting that is even easier without extension cords of unsightly wiring, it is safer and more convenient. Both are beautiful.

Many people are fascinated by the TimberVolt™ electrical post and are intrigued as to how we drill a hole through the entire length of such a long post. The actual process is pretty fascinating and requires a great deal of skill from an experienced timber wright craftsman and requires highly specialized proprietary equipment to drill a hole through the entire length of a heavy timber post.
