For creating amazing outdoor spaces, no other decking material comes close to matching the versatility, performance, and stunning natural appearance of Western Red Cedar.
For starters, Western Red Cedar is a beautiful natural material, imbued with rich, warm wood tones and a feeling of warmth and luxury that you don't find with other materials.
Amongst Western Red Cedar's impressive list of performance characteristics is its natural resistance to decay. It's also dimensionally stable, which is an essential property for wood decking as it means boards will lie flat and straight in service.

Density: The wood of Western Red Cedar is light, weighing 330 to 340 kg/m3 when kiln-dried (12-15% moisture content).
Kiln-dried: Select knotty Western Red Cedar is kiln-dried, giving it many advantages. The process improves dimensional stability, permits the immediate application of a coating, and enables installation with minimal site acclimatisation.
Grading: Select knotty decking is produced exclusively from 'Architect Knotty' grade Western Red Cedar. The grade is characterised by well-interspersed sound tight (live) knots.
Sourcing/certification: Western Red Cedar is sourced from the most sustainably managed forests in the world in British Columbia, Canada, and comes with full PEFC certification.
