Slatted Cedar Side Gate Project

Post on 28th April 2023

When it comes to constructing a side gate for your property, choosing the right timber is crucial. And, if you’re looking for a durable and visually-appealing option, Western Red Cedar is definitely one of your best bets as can be seen by this renovation project completed by one of our customers.

This side gate uses our range of 44mm western red cedar slats and framing timbers to keep a consistent appearance. The fixings used are stainless steel hinges as this protects the wood from any potential reactions within the wood.

The benefits of using Cedar are easily seen. Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage, which means that your slatted gates will remain intact and strong for many years to come. This timber is also known for its dimensional stability, meaning it won’t warp, twist or shrink over time, ensuring your gate stays functional and looks great.

Not only is Western Red Cedar strong and stable, but it’s also visually appealing. Its warm reddish-brown tone and pleasant aroma make it a popular choice for homeowners looking to add some style to their property. Additionally, it can be easily stained or painted to match your home’s exterior decor.
