What Is Cedar Lumber for Outdoor Furniture?

Cedar is a naturally aromatic softwood with good resistance to decay and insects relative to many untreated softwoods. Gardeners and builders often choose it for outdoor furniture, fencing, and planters when they want durability with a distinctive look.

Our garden benches can be ordered in cedar at select widths. Cedar costs more than kiln-dried or pressure-treated options, but it is a premium choice for a long-lasting seat along a path, park, or homestead garden.
