YardCraft Lighthouse

MDO, or Medium Density Overlay, is a high-quality plywood with a weather-resistant resin-treated fiber overlay. It is commonly used for outdoor signage because it resists moisture, prevents checking, and provides a smooth surface that holds paint exceptionally well, making it ideal for a lawn ornament exposed to the elements.

The lighthouse arrives partially assembled, but you will need to complete the final setup yourself. While the exact steps depend on the size and style you choose, expect to secure the main sections together and attach any decorative trim or roof components.

Yes, the hollow design is specifically engineered to cover unsightly yard obstacles like sewer pipes, well casings, or small utility boxes. Before purchasing, measure the height and diameter of the object you intend to cover to ensure it fits within the interior dimensions of your chosen size.

While the MDO material is weather-resistant, it is a wood product. To maintain the finish and extend the life of your lighthouse, we recommend inspecting it annually and touching up any paint or sealant if you notice signs of wear or fading from intense sun exposure.

Because these lighthouses are lightweight enough to be moved easily, they should be anchored to the ground. Most owners use simple L-brackets or ground stakes to secure the base to the soil or a patio surface to prevent tipping during storms.
