Handcrafted Western Red Cedar Shutters

Combining the finest materials with proven design and precision milling, Vixen Hill has created a masterpiece of durability and appearance.

Exterior shutters from Vixen Hill are handmade from clear, select #1 or better western red cedar.

 The shutters are assembled with old world craftsmanship using authentic mortise and tenon construction. The tenons are secured in the mortises with solid teak through pegs.

Our exterior wooden shutters are available in all the traditional styles you would expect. We also offer a full line of traditional shutter hardware.

In 1980, Vixen Hill began crafting real wooden shutters because they were nearly impossible to find. Fiberglass and plastic shutters had virtually monopolized the shutter industry during the building booms of the 60’s and 70’s. Unfortunately, the attempt to replace traditional wood shutters with synthetic materials had inherent problems. Difficulties included window size mismatch, harmful and inaccurate mounting practices, fading and repainting issues. 

Vixen Hill’s solution was to go back to traditional pegged mortise/tenon joinery with improvements unavailable in earlier shutter designs. 

First, Vixen Hill built a wood mill to process the world’s finest cedar from British Columbia. Next, it offered shutters to match window sizes using strong hidden joints. The result was a historically accurate shutter made of rot and insect resistant wood, designed to discourage water and insect penetration. 

Buying clout and milling expertise allow Vixen Hill to offer the best quality at the best price. Before you commit to other shutter companies, take the time to explore the world of Vixen Hill.
