Quick Answer: Dogberry Collections Z Exterior Shutters are solid Cedar shutters featuring a Z-brace design — sold in pairs, available in heights from 36″ to 84″, seven color options. The Z-pattern is a classic barn door and shutter motif that suits farmhouse, colonial, and craftsman home styles.
The Z-brace is the shutter equivalent of a signature — instantly recognizable, rooted in barn-door tradition, and just different enough from the standard board-and-batten to set a home apart. The Dogberry Collections Z Exterior Shutters feature the classic diagonal brace running from the bottom inside corner to the top outside corner of each shutter panel, framed by horizontal top and bottom rails. Milled from solid Cedar, pre-finished in seven colors, and sold in matched pairs, they're the farmhouse exterior detail that works equally well on a rural property, a suburban craftsman, or a new-construction home aiming for character. The Z-brace complements our Z-style barn doors for interiors that carry the theme inside.
