We exclusively use Thuja plicata – Western Red Cedar, a species native to the great Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. This wood is well known for its resistance to decay and strong aromatic scent while being worked. Natural Impermeability to liquids and phenol preservatives make it ideally suited for exterior applications and uses where humidity is high. Roofing shingles, fences, decks, siding and architectural trim are some of the many uses where weather exposure demands a durable, long lasting material.
Our fasteners (screws, nuts, bolts and washers) were selected to not react with the cedar. We don’t use nails and we won’t substitute a screw where we could use a nut and bolt. We expect our products to be sturdy, durable and comfortable.
