Real Cedar is rot, decay, and insect-resistant—making it a long-lasting material to use for backyard projects.
It’s not only durable, but it’s sustainable too. Unlike other building materials, cedar removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. You can feel good about creating something new, but doing good, as well.
