There is something special about a front porch. A gathering place for neighbors, a welcoming entrance to your home, your porch says a lot about you. When deciding on materials for a
new or remodeled porch, consider the natural beauty of real redwood lumber.
Redwood porches add a special touch to a home. The warm red tones and unique grain patterns of redwood are a welcome change from ordinary plastic lumber or concrete entrances. Homeowners wishing to paint redwood porches to match the color of their homes will find redwood readily accepts paints and stains easily. Redwood may also be left to naturally weather to a soft, driftwood gray tone.
The versatility of redwood porches is also second to none. Because redwood is so easy to use and work with, redwood porches can be easily expanded to include built-in benches, planter boxes and more. Imagination, simple wood working tools, and a design plan can turn ordinary redwood porches into the envy of the neighborhood.
Redwood porches made from Mendocino redwood offer an additional benefit. Mendocino redwood lumber is harvested from forestlands that are managed in an exemplary manner. The Forest Stewardship Council ®, the leading, independent forest certification standard in the world, has certified the forestlands of Mendocino Redwood Company since 2000. This means that by choosing the Mendocino lumber brand for redwood porches and other redwood projects, homeowners are actively supporting responsible forestry practices.
When homeowners are ready to start building redwood porches with Mendocino redwood, they will find it is widely available on the West Coast. The Home Depot stores throughout California and several other western states offer a wide range of redwood dimensional lumber products.
