ABOUT CEDAR
STABILITY & LONGEVITY
With its unique natural preservative, cedar is an outstanding building material for fences, decks, pergolas and outdoor structures – especially where moisture, humidity, and drastic temperature changes are a factor.
REAL NATURAL BEAUTY
Because of its real natural beauty, cedar is often used to create dramatic entryways, exterior post and timber features, trim effects, and accents. Choosing cedar ensures that the special details of your home withstand the test of time.
EARTH FRIENDLY
Renewable by nature, grown through sustainable forestry and fully reclaimable, cedar wood carries a light footprint—much lower than any other construction materials.
HEALTHY
Wood structures are healthier for occupants and require less energy to build and operate. Not only do trees store carbon and produce oxygen, wood products extend the cycle by storing the carbon dioxide for decades.
