Display for Sale

Our Lakewood 12ft. x 18ft. display includes the treated floor system, metal roof, front porch, patio door, windows, ladder and railing. The display is located at 205 Arlington Drive, Greenville, PA 16125. This is in the Reynolds Development which is 3 miles south of Greenville on Rt. 18.

The display will need to be disassembled because the building is too tall to be trailered off our property. The model was constructed so the building could be taken apart in sections. It is possible to disassemble the roof only and leave the walls intact. This will depend on the height of the trailer you intend to use for transport.

Display will be sold as is for $5,500.00. This building was built to model our DIY kits selling for $10,800.00 not including metal roof, porch, door, ladder and railing.

Once purchased the building will need to be removed by summer of 2022.

Call 724-646-3775 ext. 102, weekdays 10:00 to 4:00 for additional information.

Primed 3/8" wood siding, with vertical grooves, creates an attractive plank look.

Smart Panel, manufactured by Lousiana-Pacific, creates the visual beauty of real wood with the strength and durability of an engineered product.

The siding is made from wood strands, pressed into a resin saturated substrate, superior to plywood. A cedar texture is embossed into the substrate, free from knot holes and patches. Other features include:

  • Primed, ready for paint color of your choice. Latex acrylic paint recommended.
  • Treated with Composibor (from U.S. Borax) prevents fungal decay and insect damage.
