Congratulations on building your 10X16 Breeze Pergola Note: Our Pergola's are shipped as an unfinished product. If exposed to the elements, the Western Red Cedar lumber will weather to a silvery-gray color. If you prefer to keep the cedar lumber looking closer to the original color, we suggest that you treat the wood with a good oil based wood stain.
