Decking made from Western Red Cedar is highly sought after for it’s warm, rich look, and deep, natural luster. An incredibly beautiful species, WFP TRUESTYLE™ Western Red Cedar grows in a spectrum of hues that range from a light honey yellow to a deep sienna red. The combination of WFP TRUESTYLE™ grain, texture and colors create a naturally luxurious appearance that no man-made material can replicate.

What’s more, WFP TRUESTYLE™ Western Red Cedar is the ideal material for exterior applications like decks as its fibers are rich in natural compounds that act as preservatives, providing the wood with a high resistance to moisture, decay, and insects, and rendering it extremely long-lasting (it is worth noting that First Nations have used Western Red Cedar for centuries for structures and totem poles, some of which are still standing after hundreds of years). Western Red Cedar is also pitch and resin-free, meaning it readily accepts a wide range of finishes and stains. If preferred, WFP TRUESTYLE™ Cedar can also be left unfinished and will gradually develop a beautiful, rustic silvery-gray patina over time.

• Western Red Cedar decking can be allowed to weather naturally to a silvery grey look, or a wide range of stains and coatings can be applied to ensure maximum performance.
• For best results coat all six sides before installation.
• New cedar decking that is going to be finished should be protected from the weather before finish has been applied.
• Allow product to acclimatize to the environment where it will be installed to avoid unwanted shrinkage or expansion.
• Fasteners with corrosion resistance should be used. Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel.
• Maintain your decking by keeping it free of dirt and debris. Avoid leaving objects like planters on your deck over the winter.
• Important Note: Never power-wash a deck because it damages the wood fibers.

Internationally recognized for its distinctive beauty, Yellow Cedar is the hardest, most durable cedar in the world, yet incredibly easy to mill and work with. Sought the world over for its sustainability as well as the long-term beauty it brings to decks and outdoor structures, Yellow Cedar is ideal for a broad range of uses where strength and beauty are key factors. The species is also highly workable and is extremely popular in carving and custom work where appearance is a primary consideration.

Yellow Cedar boasts a smooth, rich texture and straight grain and generally displays a distinctive honey-yellow colour that creates an elegant and prestigious look. What’s more, Yellow Cedar has naturally occurring rot-repelling tannins and oils that make it weather and insect resistant. Like Western Red Cedar, when Yellow Cedar is freshly cut it has a distinct and pleasing aroma, adding another unique element to this highly versatile wood. As it is naturally resistant to the elements, it is a leading choice for use around environmentally sensitive areas and water systems as a safe alternative to chemically preserved wood. Yellow Cedar can be stained, or left unfinished to weather naturally to silvery-grey colour.

Western Forest Products’ line of Yellow Cedar products come exclusively from responsibly managed and sustainably harvested forest land located on North America’s northern west coast.
