Western Red Cedar
Western Red Cedar is straight-grained and largely free of knots, although knots are more frequent in home-grown wood. It is a relatively soft, brittle wood that can be easily dented or scraped, so may not be the best choice if used at low level and exposed to the risk of impact or scoring. If cladding is likely to be subject to these hazards, Sila A/B ® grade of Siberian Larch is more robust and would be more suitable.
