Cedar Summerhouses by Chelsea

All of our Cedar Summerhouses are handcrafted using Western Red Cedar which s known for its durability and resistance to the elements. Slow grown and naturally durable, Western Red Cedar has one of the longest life spans of any off the timber species as it is naturally resistant to moisture, decay and insect damage.

Cedar is renowned for its natural beauty and outstanding physical properties that make it one of the world's most unique softwood species. Cedar's rich and variegated colouring ranges from pale saffron to a deep honeyed ochre that, over the years, gives way to an attractive patina of silvery grey.

Its warm colouring is complimented by a uniform, fine-grained texture with a satin lustre. Recognisable by its fine straight grains, reddish tones and pleasant fragrance cedar is our preferred choice where aesthetic appeal, durability and weather resistance are important.
