Western Red Cedar

Western Red Cedar is the sturdiest and longest lasting grade of cedar wood. It provides the strength and stability needed for a reliable fence but is also soft and pliable for more decorative and intricate styles. Posts can be treated – even steel can be used – to help offset aging and prevent rot. Western Red Cedar has been the preferred choice in wood fence design for decades. A naturally durable choice, Western Red Cedar has many attributes that make it well suited for outdoor living.

Key attributes include:

1. Western Red Cedar is stable, stays flat, and performs in fencing better
2. The natural resins, or tannins in the wood, help resist mildew and insects
3. Western Red Cedar has a knotty structure that’s especially well suited for fencing
4. The boards are textured and graded on both faces for uniform and even performance
5. A properly installed Western Red Cedar fence should last 20 years
