   That was my first thought when I looked at it.

   Maybe I can sell them on that but I think they want a wood replacement

   Two stone tablets, chiseled (well, the originals probably weren't actually chiseled, but....).

   No, I think brimstone would be a bad idea. It's sulfur.

   I'm thinking something harder than cedar.  Something like black locust.  Then a good soaking coat of Woodlife, followed by 100% acrylic primer and several 100% acrylic topcoats.

   MDO for the back.

   The stanchions appear to be metal.  How about copper pipe for the stanchions and copper flashing covering the "roof"?

   I kinda like the old one, why do they want to replace it? If they're really set on wood, maybe order some redwood? It's pretty easy to work, and ages pretty nicely.http://www.tvwsolar.com

   Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill

   I would set him in chains at the top of the hill

   Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille

   It is all rotted out and I changed the roof on it 3 years ago.

   They want a copy of the original design but didn't specify material.

   I had planned on using all the old metal parts and the glass and etc.
