ABOUT CEDAR

Cedar is a lightweight and dimensional stable wood that lies flat and stays straight, which means it resists the natural tendency to crack, as you might find in other wood. Its bacterial and fungal resistance coupled with the fact that Cedar is 80percent the strength of Oak, makes it the most desirable wood to use for building outdoor furniture.

Cedar fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot and decay making it excellent furniture material for moist, humid or dry climates. These properties even make Cedar a very popular material for hot tub and sauna areas.

Among other things these naturally occurring organic compounds called thujaplicins give off that distinct cedar aroma that is pleasant to humans but a deterrent to insects, moths and other wood pests. This is why Cedar is the choice material for closet liners and blanket storage chests. Unlike Plastic or Resin furniture, Cedar will not bow or sag over time.

Your Cedar product will hold its handsome appearance year after year with very little maintenance. Cedar is an all around safer, healthier, natural alternative for outdoor items such as, patio sets, arbors & swings, flowerbed planters, benches and other unique items than other wood materials that just simply can’t stand up to the test of time.

The Wonderful Cedar Tree From Northern British Columbia, Canada, to California, a rugged spine of mountains stretches for almost 1,500 miles parallel to the Pacific coast of North America. Along the slopes and in the valleys of these mountains, the humus-rich soil nourishes mixed softwood forests in vast abundance.

The majority of Cedar grows in coastal forests. Western Red Cedars grow also in the drier interior forests of British Columbia, Washington, Idaho and Montana where they are smaller in stature with a tight knotted growth characteristic.

Whether used in patio furniture, arbors, swings, posts or beams, the presence and prestige of cedar enhances the aesthetic structure of any type or design, every time. Cedar heart wood contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. Properly finished and maintained, Cedar ages gracefully and endures for many years.

Aside from being the choice material for Outdoor Patio and Garden Furniture, Cedar is the preferred material for all outdoor applications that seek visual harmony with the landscape combined with stability and durability. Various uses range from furniture products to siding and patio decking, fences, planters, screens and shelters.
