Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

Furthermore we are concerned with waste and ever growing landfills. Outdoor Living Today’s designers have therefore designed our Garden Sheds, Storage Sheds, Pergolas and Gazebos to use the wood fiber efficiently and without waste.

OLT buys the lumber from the mills which are considered too short, too thick or too thin for their regular customer’s use.

One great example are our cedar joists and floor runners use in our sheds. Since those parts are not visible under the floor, we use structurally sound but visibly not pretty pieces. They may have some marks or scratches on them and could be rough-cut, but are absolutely functional in all our sheds. Those pieces would end up in the landfill and newly harvested wood would have to be used.

As you can see from the math, extracting more from each log potentially means less trees are used. Reducing your environmental footprint by 20% is massive and one we believe our customers really value,” ~ From Our Founder
