Why use Western Red Cedar?

It's beautiful
- Western Red Cedar's rich grain and vibrant colour make it the preferred material for all applications where beauty is important.
It's strong - Western Red Cedar has excellent dimensional stability and endurance. It lays flat, stays straight and is less likely to twist and crack than other timber's such as treated timber.

It's long lasting - The supremacy of Western Red Cedar as an all-weather building material is entirely natural. Along with it's beauty, stability and endurance, Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay.
It’s Sustainable - All Western Red Cedar used in our Garden Offices is sourced from Canadian Forests, which have been managed for the production of timber for the last few decades.
It's non-toxic - Western Red Cedar is non-toxic and safe for all uses, and requires no chemical treatment.
It smells great - Western Red Cedar is probably well known for its distinctive aroma. Over time the wood remains subtly aromatic and the characteristic fragrance adds another dimension to its universal appeal.
