The 5.8ft x 8ft Meridian Grilling Pavilion has two cedar shelves on each side that provide plenty of counter space for herbs, spices, utensils and more. Sturdy, 5″ x 5″ posts with classic plinths provide a steady foundation without blocking exterior views. The straight-line gussets provide stylish and solid support. Cedar has many advantages for use in outdoor structures like this grilling pavilion. It doesn’t swell, warp or decay; it’s naturally resistant to insects, easy to work with, and naturally beautiful. It’s made of 100% premium exterior grade cedar coated in an environmentally friendly natural cedar-colour stain that will protect the wood and extend its life.
