  • What are the mateials?  Art work is depicted on wood panels and attached to the surface of the wall.
  • Who will maintain the artwork?  Brandon Graves himself
  • What kind of weatherproofing do you apply?
  • Will you treat the edges and corners to keep the rain from getting insided the wood? One option could using exterior cement board, the material would never rot like wood panels.
