What kind of wood are the raised beds made of?
Raised beds are made from untreated, kiln-dried Port Orford cedar—the strongest of all cedars, as strong as Doug Fir and more rot-resistant than Redwood. Port Orford cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, also known as Lawson cypress) is fragrant, light-colored wood with even texture and strong natural oils that help protect against moisture and microorganisms. It really is extraordinary wood, perfect for long-lasting raised beds. • Economy-grade examples (front sides) Economy-grade examples (back sides) See larger photos.
