Why cedar

Because of its characteristics, cedar fencing will generally outlast fences made from softer, less durable wood, such as pine. In addition to its inherent durability, the natural oils within the wood will help to deter insect damage and rotting. Cedar does not need to be chemically treated, making it a good choice for families who prefer to use natural products. A properly installed cedar fence will look great for a long time.

Not only will it resist the effects of bad weather, but it will also maintain its straight and aligned appearance. Although many types of wood are prone to warping or shrinking over time, cedar tends to retain its shape and size beautifully. Cedar can create beautiful outdoor and indoor living spaces.
