Quick Answer: Dogberry Collections X Exterior Shutters are solid Cedar shutters featuring a bold X-brace design - sold in pairs, available in heights from 36″ to 84″, seven color options. The X-pattern adds strong decorative structure to any exterior window and suits rustic, farmhouse, and mountain-home styles.
The X-brace is one of architecture's most confident decorative moves - diagonal boards crossing in the center of a panel, originally used to structurally stiffen large doors and gates. On the Dogberry Collections X Exterior Shutters, that bold geometry becomes a statement on the face of your home. Milled from Cedar and finished in seven colors, these shutters are the strongest visual choice in our lineup - they read clearly from the street and give farmhouse, mountain, and craftsman exteriors the kind of character that photographs well and ages even better. Each pair is pre-finished and arrives ready to mount.
