The quality and construction of these estate houses and feeders is unmatched. The copper roofs use 7 pounds of copper and the copper post,copper scroll brackets,and copper roof will weigh over 25 pounds.

Quality Materials: Our Products are made from the finest materials, including Cypress, Copper, Brass and Steel. The Cypress comes from the Goshen Swamp located in North Carolina and is over 200 years old. Cypress, which grows in slues and swamps, is one of the most superior woods to resist insects and rot due to the natural oils in the wood. Unfinished Cypress is used for the landing pads and the Nantucket roofs. It will turn a beautiful light gray in time. 16oz Copper, used on the roof, is hand cut from its' roll form and is either pre-finished with a natural green Verdi or is left natural to age beautifully on its' own. Over 7 lbs. of Copper is used on each unit, including waste. Brass or Cast Iron Finials are used to complete the roof. All Steel used is 1/8' thick, cold rolled Steel.

Handcrafted Construction: We custom buy all lumber to insure solid pieces are used for each component. We are the only company to our knowledge not gluing the bases together or using plywood to achieve the maximum dimensions needed. We then run a Roman Ogee molding on the eight sides of the bases and tops. Any nails used to join pieces together are backed up with waterproof exterior glue. Each component is milled in-house and hand cut for an exact fit, including the bases, tops, octagon post on the feeders, wood trusses on the Charleston, the roof panels on the Nantucket, landing pads and the sides of the houses. The sides of the house are splined and glued for maximum adhesion. No nails are used in this part of the construction, which prevents deterioration from rust. All wood surfaces are primed with exterior primer, sanded and then given two coats of the #1 latex paint on the market. The Savannah and the Steel Magnolia have an authentic single-locking standing seam roof, hemmed on the bottom and soldered on the inside for optimum aesthetics and strength. Solid Brass Finials are used to top the Savannah roof. The Charleston roof consists of 8 pieces of hand cut Copper attached to the wood truss structure. The seams are covered with strips of Copper and secured with Copper nails. The top is capped with a Copper water seal and then handcrafted into a flourished plume. Roof construction is designed to be removed for cleaning and/or replacement if needed. The Steel Magnolia, made of Steel and Copper, with a Cast Iron Finial, should last for countless generations to come.
