Why Cedar is the No.1 garden trellis wood
All our products are constructed from the highest-quality Canadian Western Red Cedar wood, enabling our trellises to offer the unrivalled benefits that this premium timber provides.
Below are just some of the key reasons why we choose to exclusively work with Cedar, and why we have no doubt that you too will fall in love with this wood.
Why you should choose Cedar:
- Cedar wood is known for its strikingly rich and warm natural colour, which is achieved without the need for staining, due to its naturally occurring oils
- As a long-lasting and hard-wearing wood, it thrives in damp climates, enabling it to easily withstand the wildly varied conditions that the UK weather throws at us
- It is naturally rot resistant and very stable, meaning unlike other timbers it does not need regular staining and oiling. This makes it the perfect practical and low maintenance wood for garden products
- With the chemical compound thujaplicin present within the wood – which is responsible for the timber’s distinctive, earthy aroma – Cedar has antimicrobial properties, making it naturally pest resistant
- Due to the fast-growing nature of Cedar trees and the way they are grown in Canada using the most eco-friendly processes – the farms we source from have full PEFC certification – this is one of the most sustainable timbers on the market
- Despite its strength, Cedar is easy to machine in the workshop, helping us as a business to reduce the energy required to create each trellis product. Additionally, no chemical preservatives or synthetic colours are used
- Owing to its long lifespan and low maintenance requirements, Cedar trellises represent great value for money long-term
