Western Red Cedar (thuja plicata) is the raw material from which all Gabriel Ash greenhouses and cold frames are constructed and is, like gardening itself, life affirming. In other words it looks after itself, remaining sound, solid and beautiful for decades. Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that resist moisture decay and infestation by wood boring insects. Red Cedar is endowed with qualities that further reinforce its superiority for green house construction. Being very straight-grained, it neither warps nor twists.
Furthermore, this craftsman's wood can be machined to a superb finish that compares to the furniture in your home, a pleasure both to the eye and to the touch. In our long experience, nothing is more appropriate for fine English gardens than the warmth, beauty and character of wood for the eye and to the touch. For us, that means only the finest selected Western Red Cedar, for it's proven and enduring performance. |
