Don’t be fooled by imposters: This is Real Cedar
If you are drawn to the majesty that is the cedar tree, you are not alone. These lovable giants can assume many forms, and are often mistaken for firs or pine trees. But to the trained eye, these breeds cannot be further apart. Aside from the strong scent that quickly becomes apparent when in the vicinity of cedar, the lumber derived from these species is drastically different. And if beauty is truly judged by what is inside, than you might say that cedar is the most beautiful wood of all in the eyes of your backyard.
Why is all of this important? Because if you want to utilize the wonders of cedar in your next outdoor project, you’re best bet is to use something authentic. And nothing fits this bill better than Real Cedar. Developed by the WRCLA (Western Red Cedar Lumber Association), Real cedar is just that…authentic pieces of cedar wood that can be used on applications such as siding, decking, fencing, sheds, blinds, shutters and more. You can even use it for paneling or moulding inside your home. What makes this line of products so desirable? Well, for starters, there is nothing synthetic about them. Common used materials for these types of installations are very rarely authentic, and you can now get everything from synthetic rock, to decking, to grasses and everything in between from a multitude of manufactures. All of these products are great in their own way, and definitely fill a need within the contractor industry (in fact, we highly recommend all of them). But buying something like cedar is like buying a diamond engagement ring; if you are going to invest in a pricey item, then you might as well go all-in and get the most bang for your buck. Taking this concept to heart, the good people of WRCLA have gone to great lengths to make sure you are getting the highest quality cedar, no matter what you plan on doing with it.
