REAL CEDAR PROJECTS for OUTDOOR LIVING WESTERN RED CEDAR Outdoor Living

Western Red Cedar is suitable for a broad range of functional and decorative applications. In general, applications can be classified into two broad end use groups: first, for those structures such as large buildings in which both the strength and the appearance of exposed wood members are of equal importance; and second, in landscape, park and garden structures where appearance is paramount.

For both use-groups, Western Red Cedar offers the advantages of natural beauty, design flexibility, exceptional dimensional stability and long term durability. Cedar has a long history of withstanding the rigors of time and weather. It is also a recognized structural material Photo by: www.gardenstructure.com with known mechanical and physical properties.
