Practical Garden Ponds Bodie Island NC Replica Lighthouse

While the lighthouse is designed to accommodate most standard residential wellheads and pumps, the interior is hexagonal. We recommend measuring the height and width of your equipment to ensure it fits comfortably within the structure's footprint before purchasing.

The lighthouse includes a pre-wired 25W bulb socket designed for outdoor use. Replacing the bulb is straightforward, typically requiring access through a removable panel or the base, depending on the specific model configuration.

While it can be placed directly on grass or mulch, placing it on a level, solid surface like a paver or concrete pad is recommended to ensure stability and prevent the wood from sitting directly in damp soil, which extends the life of the structure.

The lighthouse arrives partially assembled to ensure safe shipping. You will typically need to attach the top section to the base and secure any decorative trim, which generally takes about 15 to 30 minutes with basic household tools.

LP Smartside is an engineered wood product treated to resist fungal decay and termites, making it significantly more durable than standard pine or cedar. It is designed to withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations, though applying a fresh coat of exterior paint every few years will keep it looking new.

The structure is designed to be sturdy, but it is not airtight. The construction naturally allows for some airflow, which is beneficial for preventing moisture buildup around electrical pumps or well equipment.
