Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 7POST-WAL Outdoor Post made of?

The 7POST-WAL Outdoor Post consists of a solid hardwood core veneered with sustainably sourced walnut, sealed with a low-VOC clear coat. The mounting hardware is fabricated from galvanized steel and stainless-steel fasteners, providing rust resistance. All components meet industry standards for outdoor lighting applications, ensuring durability and a premium appearance.

▾

How does the walnut finish hold up in rainy climates?
▾
The walnut veneer is sealed with a UV-blocking, moisture-resistant coating that helps prevent warping, fading, or cracking in rainy or humid environments. Routine cleaning with a mild soap solution and occasional re-application of a protective wax will keep the finish looking fresh for many years.
Is the post compatible with most exterior lighting fixtures?

Can the post be painted or stained to match other colors?
▾
While the walnut finish is designed to be a final aesthetic, it can be lightly sanded and restained if you need to match a different color palette. However, any repainting should use a high-quality exterior paint and a primer to preserve the wood’s integrity.
