HANDCRAFTED DECORATIVE PILINGS AND SEAGULLS

Beautiful landscaping idea! Hand painted seagulls atop 100% dried and cured cedar pilings, complete with 3/4" manila rope and fish net. The pilings are 4 1/2" to 6" in diameter and stand 38" tall. The seagulls are lifesize - the landing seagull is 18" from the tip of the wing to the base and has a wingspan of 24". The seagull replicas are made of hard polyurethane, have glass eyes, and are hand painted with 25-35 year exterior paint.  The pilings have a natural finish and will age (gray) naturally outside with the elements or can be easily treated with an acrylic spray or polyurethane. You can also request already-weathered pilings when you place your order. These 3-tier nautical decorations will look great in just about any indoor or outdoor environment!

I've had lots of people ask if they can purchase just the seagull. Yes! You can purchase the large landing seagull by itself. Standing 18" tall and with a 24" wingspan, this lifelike ornament will look great in any nautical theme. Two steel legs make sure it stays put.

Using pilings as lawn décor is very popular in fishing communities and homes wishing to convey a nautical theme. I live along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and I've seen many variations. As I drove around I noticed many people had pilings at their driveway entrances and that got me thinking of different ways I could make attractive lawn ornaments. I started making a few featuring a seagull and solar light, and they became a popular item. I even made some with ducks, shorebirds, and herons. My construction techniques improved, and before long I had friends, coworkers, and local homeowners asking me to make them. Want to see know how to make them yourself?
