Due to its unparalleled natural beauty, durability, and environmental sustainability. "In Calgary, where the weather can go from one extreme to another, Western Red Cedar stands out for its natural resistance to decay and its ability to adapt to our diverse climate," says Burchell.

•This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a long-lasting, beautiful deck that requires minimal maintenance if left to it's natural look.

• If you want low maintenance with Western Red Cedar it is best to not stain cedar and enjoy the rustic color of silver as it ages.

• If you want to stain cedar, it is best to dry the cedar over a period of time with a 15% moisture content or lower.

• If you do not have the time or space and still want color, be prepared to stain your cedar deck every 2 - 3 years.
