Yellow Cedar Timbers: Lasting Performance
Timeless & Durable
Yellow Cedar timbers, known for quality and beauty, are trusted for architectural uses. Yellow Cedar also has naturally-occurring, rot-repelling tannins and oils that can make it weather and insect resistant. This natural resistance is a benefit over other species of wood that require a chemical preservative, making Yellow Cedar a popular choice for use around environmentally-sensitive areas and water systems.
Beauty & Performance
Yellow Cedar timber combines natural elegance, exceptional durability, and longevity, making it a worthwhile investment for design-focused projects. Yellow Cedar is renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to decay, making it a prized material for uses such as boat building, docks and boardwalks. Durable yet easy to work with, it delivers beauty and performance that lasts for years. Yellow Cedar can be stained or left unfinished to weather naturally to a silvery-grey colour.
Long Lasting
Yellow Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, especially for environmentally-sensitive areas. Its tight grain and natural tannins provide superior durability, even in harsh weather conditions.
Natural Beauty
With its rich golden colour and fine grain, Yellow Cedar exudes natural elegance. Its unique appearance enhances any living space, blending seamlessly with natural surroundings. Over time, Yellow Cedar gracefully weathers to a soft silver-gray, adding a timeless charm.
Versatile & Easy
Yellow Cedar is lightweight yet strong, making it easy to cut, shape, and install. Its excellent workability allows for intricate designs and customizations. Whether you’re building a simple pergola or a multi-level masterpiece, yellow cedar ensures a smooth construction process.
Renewable
Harvested responsibly, Yellow Cedar is a renewable resource that aligns with eco-conscious building practices. Its natural resistance to decay eliminates the need for chemical treatments.

Finishing & Maintenance
Discover how to finish and maintain your Yellow Cedar timber for lasting beauty and performance. Choose between letting it age to a silvery-grey patina or applying a protective stain. Remember to use galvanized or stainless steel fixtures to avoid rust marks and avoid power washing to preserve wood integrity.
Finish
Let it age naturally to a silvery-grey patina for a rustic, low-maintenance look or apply a protective stain to enhance its natural tones and extend durability. Natural aging requires minimal effort but offers less protection, while staining demands upkeep yet ensures longevity and lasting vibrancy.
Fasteners
Galvanized or stainless steel fasteners are essential to prevent rust bleeding marks that can stain the wood’s surface. Galvanized fasteners offer durability and affordability, while stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a clean, lasting finish.
Cleaning
Avoid power washing, as it can damage wood fibres. Instead, use mild, wood-safe cleaners or oxygen-based bleach for effective dirt and mildew removal. Rinse thoroughly to maintain the wood’s natural elegance and structural integrity.
