Western Red Cedar is an attractive fence board and it is famed for its extraordinary durability and resistance to decay. The fence board color is extremely attractive, varying from almost pure white of the narrow sapwood to the light straw shade of dark reddish-brown of the heartwood. The wood of Western red cedar has a very low coefficient of expansion, so that it does not shrink, swell or warp excessively, even when subjected to changing degrees of temperature and moisture. The wood is saturated to every fiber with natural preservative oil which renders it virtually immune to decay and gives it extreme durability without artificial preservative treatment.

Northern White Cedar is unique to the Northeast region of North America, where it grows from upper Michigan along the Canada-United States border to New Brunswick. It’s a slow-growing tree found mainly in swampy areas. The heartwood of white cedar is light brown, and the sapwood is white or nearly so. The wood has an aromatic spicy ‘cedary or pencil-like’ odor. The wood is lightweight, rather soft, and low in strength and shock resistance, It has an even grain, fine texture, and the lowest density of any commercial domestic wood. It shrinks little in drying. It is easily worked and holds paint well. The heartwood is highly resistant to decay and subterranean termites.
