Cedar doors and cedar gates are our speciality. Apart from the beauty of the wood, Red Cedar has many valuable properties that make it especially good for outdoor use in gates and doors.
Red Cedar timber has a tight, straight grain and few knots. It is valued for its distinct appearance, aroma, and its high natural resistance to decay. It is used extensively for outdoor construction in the form of gates, doors, posts, decking, and siding. It is also widely used throughout Europe and America for making beehives. It is also used to line cupboards and chests for storing clothing and linens. Its pungent aromatic oils are believed to discourage moth and carpet beetle larvae, which can damage cloth by eating cotton, wool and other natural fibres.
The natural resistance to decay that makes cedar so suitable for gates and doors comes from a natural substance called Thujaplicin. This serves as a natural fungicide thereby preventing the timber from rotting. This resistance to decay can last around for a century after the tree is felled, which is a huge benefit of a cedar door or cedar gate.
