Western Red Cedar
A more economical choice to its foreign cousin, British Western Red Cedar is faster growing and boasts a more consistent, pale-red colour with varied grain and character for a more natural look. It is less dense and contains more knots than Canadian, but weathers more evenly and has a considerably lower carbon impact product due to it being locally grown. Likewise, it is a durable product that lasts for many years externally.
