Western Red Cedar

Western Red Cedar...characteristics of the timber we use for our long lasting summerhouses.

It's strong - Western Red Cedar has excellent dimensional stability and endurance. It lays flat, stays straight and is less likely to twist and crack than other wood products such as treated timber.

It's long lasting - The supremacy of Western Red Cedar as an all-weather building material is entirely natural. Along with it's beauty, stability and endurance, Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. 

It's non-toxic - Western Red Cedar is non-toxic and safe for all uses, and requires no chemical treatment.

It smells good - Western Red Cedar is probably well known for its distinctive aroma. Over time the wood remains subtly aromatic and the characteristic fragrance adds another dimension to its universal appeal. 

 

It's beautiful - Western Red Cedar's rich grain and vibrant colour make it the preferred material for all applications where beauty is important.

Planning On Adding A Summerhouse To Your Garden

Are you considering adding a summerhouse to your garden, well January is the perfect time to do so. Most people don't consider any garden alterations until the weather improves in spring time but January/ February are really a better time to plan any additions to your garden. Not only does it give you something to look forward to and think about in the bleak winter months but as our summerhouses are all handcrafted, they have a leadtime of 6-8 weeks. So why not take advantage of winter offers and receive delivery of your summerhouse at the beginning of spring giving you more time to enjoy living indoors...outdoors.

Each of our designs can be adapted for a variety of purposes including a tranquil home office, inspirational studio, gym or merely a tranquil retreat. A Chelsea Summerhouse is really a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors and make the most of your garden.
