TODAY’S CEDAR FOR YOUR

GREAT OUTDOORS

Western Red Cedar is perfectly suited for your outdoor

projects. Naturally decay-resistant, light in weight, easy

to work, this durable wood is as practical as it is good

looking.

This brochure contains helpful pointers on building out-

door Cedar structures for play, entertaining and storage.

We have not included step-by-step building instructions

as the designs are simply a source of ideas – concepts

you can build on to meet your own outdoor living needs.

THE FINISHING TOUCH

While Cedar can be left unfinished for a rustic weath-

ered look, the use of a quality finish recommended by

your building supply dealer can enhance both its good

looks and its natural characteristics.

Red Cedar accepts a wide range of stains in your choice

of tinted transparent finishes for a natural effect, or

lightly pigmented semi-transparent finishes. The latter

are available in a spectrum of colors.

Look for a coating that offers good fungicide and ultra-

violet shielding properties as well as additional preser-

vatives to protect your project’s youthful complexion.

Varnishes and other film-forming coatings which can

crack and peel are not recommended for use on Cedar.

CEDAR, NATURALLY

For centuries Western Red Cedar has been the Pacific

Northwest’s “heritage” outdoor building material – for

some very natural reasons:

Natural durability. Cedar’s natural preservative oil

eliminates the need for further chemical treatments,

unless the wood is in direct contact with the ground.

Natural stability. Cedar resists cracking, warping, cup-

ping and pulling loose from fasteners.

Natural working ease. Cedar is uncommonly light in

weight, cuts cleanly and easily.

Natural beauty. Cedar’s richness of grain, color and

texture complement any architectural style.

COLD FRAME/

PROPAGATING BENCH

Dimensions: 48 inches wide by 24 inches deep and

30 inches wide

Design: John Terins

This versatile unit does triple duty in the garden – it serves

as a cold frame, a propagating shed and as a raised

planter. Created specially for the WRCLA’s designer series

of garden projects, it is made from durable Western Red

Cedar, a naturally long lasting wood that is easy to work

and finish. The clear acrylic lid can be set in different

positions to adjust ventilation or removed completely so

the unit can be used as a potting bench or planter.

Garden pots and tools can be stored within easy reach on

the lower section. Legs are optional so the unit can be set

on the ground and used as a conventional cold frame for

propagating seeds and cuttings, hardening off seedlings

and over wintering tender plants.

Designer’s Tip: Stain the entire unit a soft gray green for

a slightly weathered patina that blends naturally with the

green garden environment.
