Rich Cordoba on a timber frame shade structure has a depth, vibrancy, and superiority in stain performance making it the perfect choice for a formal, prestigious appearance.

The element of color can direct our attention to a specific area to create a more inviting landscape design. Whether subconsciously or emotionally we each respond to color in different ways. Colors can help to evoke in us, a particular mood, displaying beauty than connects us, inspires us to experience joy and awe as it covers its marvelous architectural forms.

The combination of stain color on a solid wood, timber frame shade structure speaks a beautiful language all its own that cannot be fully conveyed through words alone. The quality of light can change the way a color can appear to our eyes, creating at times an optical illusion. To add to the mix, wood itself also varies in color values and hues.
