WESTERN RED CEDAR-WOOD (Thuja plicata)
The largest and finest of the cedars produced anywhere in the world, the Western red cedar-wood is famed for its extraordinary durability and resistance to decay.

Western red cedar-wood is a distinct species, possessing all the desirable qualities of the other cedars, and additional advantages besides. It can be finished to a smooth, silky finish; it is free from pitch, it takes and holds stains and paints excellently, and has superior glueing properties. Its colour is extremely attractive, varying from almost pure white of the narrow sapwood to the light straw shade of reddish-brown of the heartwood.

The wood of the Western red cedar-wood has a very low coefficient of expansion, so that it does not shrink, swell or warp excessively, even when subjected to changing degrees of temeperature and moisture.

It has prime insulating qualities and its pleasing aromatic odour is repellent to moths, insects and vermin. The wood is saturated to every fibre with a natural preservative oil which renders it virtually immune to decay and gives it extreme durability without artificial preservative treatment.

It is not necessary to paint cedar-wood to  preserve its surface, as it does not deteriorate appreciably even under severe climatic changes.

All dimensions are external. Heights include 5"/13cm concrete base kerbs
