Western Red Cedar and its Inner Beauty

Very few timbers can compare with Cedars variety of rich colours from subtle amber to reddish pink and through to deep honey brown. If left unfinished, the Cedar will weather to a soft silvery tone, blending in with most surroundings. When freshly cut, Western Red Cedar has a very distinctive sweet aroma of its own.

Resistance to Decay, Durability & Maintenance

The beauty of Western Red Cedar is more than skin deep. Its air filled cellular structure and natural preservatives hidden within its microstructure make this lightweight wood ideal for deck structures, and requires no chemical preservative treatment.

Cedar’s natural durability is one of nature’s wonders and has helped to create its long tradition of excellence for outdoor use.

Western Red Cedar has a very low shrinkage factor and is superior to all other timbers in its resistance to warping, twisting and checking.

Maintenance of a Leisuredeck is minimal as there is no requirement for staining or additional preservative, all it requires is to be kept clean.
