Abstract: A shutter for placement on the outside of a house or building is disclosed. The shutter is primarily made from a structural polymeric material, such as an expanded polyvinyl chloride. The shutter includes a decorative face panel that is attached to a back section. In order to consolidate the shutter, metallic channel members are placed along the vertical edges of the shutter. Once constructed, the entire shutter is then painted, which gives the shutter the appearance of a conventionally made wood shutter.
