Does my Triumph Playset require Staining or Sealing?
A. This is the most asked question we get. White Cedar playsets take stains nicely, but like other wooden playsets made from pine and redwood, once applied, it will require re-staining every two to three years. The wonderful thing about Northern White Cedar is that rather than aging to a dark gray and splintering like pine or turning black like redwood and red cedar, Northern White Cedar ages to a silverish gray. Another advantage of a White Cedar playset is that it does not need a stain to protect it; the natural oils protect the cedar swing set from rot and insect damage.
