How long will Western Red Cedar last?
Western Red Cedar is one of the world’s most beautiful and durable woods. Natural resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage makes it the premier choice for your outdoor use. Western Red Cedar is naturally at home in the sun, rain, heat and cold all year long. When Western Red Cedar is used in above ground applications, it will last for decades; and when used as a raised bed garden and in direct contact with ground, it will last for at least 10 years.
