Why cedar wood fencing?

Cedar has been a popular choice as a fencing material for a considerable time. It is a very durable wood and copes well with outdoor weather conditions.

A cedar fence will generally last longer than fences made from other softer, less durable woods. As well as a high durability there are natural oils within the wood that help deter insect damage and rotting and remove the need for any sealants.

Cedar makes a great choice garden fences and does not need to be chemically treated. This makes it a perfect choice for families who prefer to use natural products and have little time for ongoing maintenance. If a cedar fence is not stained, it will gradually weather and fade to a grey colour.

Although many people truly love the look of weathered cedar, in some cases this natural fading is not desired. In order to avoid this natural fading, the wood can be stained.

A well installed cedar fence will look great and stay that way for a long time. The wood will resist the wear and tear of the weather and also maintain it’s aligned appearance, retaining its shape and size beautifully.
