Our Eastern White Cedar

Overview:

Few species of Canadian softwoods have good natural resistance to decay. An Eastern White Cedar post rates the best with an average service life of 27 years in a general climate.

With excellent natural decay resistance and dimensional stability, Eastern White Cedar provides the durability required for long performance. This durability allow the wood to be used for countless jobs both inside and outside the home.  The endurance of Eastern White Cedar remains evident today by the large number of Eastern White Cedar barns that remain standing, hall-marked by their distinctive silvery grey colour.

To an experienced eye and hand, the presence of quality in wood is tangible. We can feel it, see it and smell it. Our drive to deliver the very best value to our customers leads us to be uncompromising in our quest for quality Eastern White Cedar.
