Product Information

Full details

This Timber Focus Canadian Western Red Cedar cladding is an excellent choice for homeowners and contractors seeking a premium, durable wood for exterior fencing, gates, and wall cladding applications. Its primary benefit lies in the natural durability and aesthetic versatility of Western Red Cedar, which can age to a silver-grey or remain golden-brown with treatment; however, users should note that as a natural timber product, some variation in grain and color is expected across the boards.

FAQs

Does this cedar require chemical treatment?

No, Western Red Cedar is naturally durable and resistant to decay, so it does not require additional preservative treatments for above-ground use.

Can I paint this cedar?

While it can be painted, it is usually recommended to use oils or stains to highlight the natural beauty of the wood rather than covering it completely.

How long will the wood last outdoors?

With proper installation and basic maintenance, this cedar can last for many years, often outperforming many other softwood alternatives.

Does the cedar arrive pre-oiled?

No, the cedar is supplied in its raw, natural state, allowing you to choose your preferred finish or let it weather naturally.

Is the tongue and groove profile compatible with other boards?

This product is designed for its own profile series. It is recommended to use the same product line for consistency across the entire installation.

How do I calculate how many packs I need?

Measure the total square footage of your project area, account for a 10% waste factor for trimming, and divide by the coverage area provided by one pack.

Troubleshooting

Fastener marks causing black streaks

Ensure you are using high-grade stainless steel nails or screws, as regular steel reacts with the tannins in cedar.

Board cupping or bowing

Check that the wood was not installed too tightly; wood requires space to breathe and expand, and ensure adequate airflow behind the cladding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Naturally resistant to rot and insect damage
  • High-quality planed finish on all sides
  • Easy to install due to tongue and groove precision
  • Lightweight yet structurally stable for fencing
  • Flexible aesthetic options via oils or natural weathering

Cons

  • Requires proper gap allowance for natural wood movement
  • Colors may vary between individual boards
  • Needs periodic maintenance if choosing to preserve original color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed using stainless steel or high-quality corrosion-resistant fasteners to avoid staining the cedar. If you decide to apply a finish, use a breathable oil or wood stain specifically formulated for external cedar applications. For maintenance, a simple wash with water and a soft brush once a year is usually sufficient to remove surface debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers that might damage the soft wood fibers. Store the boards flat and under cover in a dry, well-ventilated area before installation to keep them straight and moisture-free.
