Cedar is widely considered an ideal material for exterior applications, like decks, pergolas and outdoor living structures. Cedar fibers are rich in natural compounds that act as preservatives, providing the wood with a high resistance to moisture, decay, and insects, and rendering the species long-lasting.

In addition to being functional and beautiful, there can be health benefits associated with using wood for living spaces, referred to as the biophilia effect. Studies show that natural wood home features can have a measurable, positive effect on boosting immune systems and reducing stress-related illnesses.
