Collection 03
Shade & Shelter
Span is the whole argument on this shelf. A carport at twelve by twenty feet takes a car and still lets a door open; at twenty by twenty it takes two. The sheds are the same idea shrunk to five by three feet, sized for a mower and the tools leaning beside it. Umbrellas reach thirteen feet of cantilever, which is the size that clears a table instead of standing in the middle of it.
13 pieces in this collection. Every card leads with the seat count or the span.

Furniture that stands on the floor indoors belongs anchored to the wall, and a propane fire pit belongs at least ten feet from the house and out before you go in. Both instructions come from published federal guidance, both are printed with the date we read them on our updates page, and the sheet in the carton is the authority on the rest. That instruction is not ours alone: the source and its reading date are on our updates page.
The rest of outside
Everything here spends its life in weather: sun on the arms of a chair, rain on a canopy, a fire pit lit in October.
