Why Cedar for Outdoor Living Spaces

Welcome to Outdoor Comfort: The Allure of Cedar Furniture

There's something genuinely timeless about stepping into a backyard dressed with cedar patio furniture. Whether you're sipping morning coffee or gathering loved ones for dinner under the stars, the experience is elevated by the aroma, texture, and natural beauty of handcrafted red cedar. At All Things Cedar, we believe that every outdoor space deserves furniture that blends classic charm with trustworthy durability—because your space should feel like an extension of your home, reflecting both craftsmanship and care.

Why Choose Western Red Cedar for Your Outdoor Retreat?

Western red cedar has long been prized for its resilience in the elements, innate weather resistance, and stunning grain patterns. Cedar stands apart from mass-produced metal or plastic alternatives, providing:

• Natural durability—Ideal for rain, sun, and wind without excessive warping or decay
• Eco-friendly credentials—Responsibly harvested, renewable, and biodegradable
• Breathtaking beauty—Distinct natural patterns and colour that age gracefully over time
• Unique aroma—A fresh, woodsy scent that enhances every gathering

When you choose pieces from All Things Cedar, you’re investing in small-batch, handcrafted cedar outdoor furniture that’s built with care for both the material and the craft itself. Each table, chair, or planter reflects years of woodworking expertise passed down through generations.

Arranging Your Cedar Patio Furniture: Create Inspired Outdoor Spaces

Designing a backyard sanctuary is about more than putting out a few chairs—it's about creating welcoming zones for relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying nature’s beauty. With cedar furniture as your foundation, consider these tips for arranging your space:

• Establish gathering zones—Position cedar benches or a cedar patio set under a pergola or beside the garden for informal get-togethers.
• Add layers of comfort—Outdoor cushions in earthy tones pair beautifully with natural wood, while planters and accent tables help complete the scene.
• Maximize versatility—Choose modular or folding pieces to easily adjust your layout for different seasonal needs.
• Highlight craftsmanship—Arrange seating to showcase the joinery, smoother finishes, and artisan details that mark true cedar furniture plans.

Caring for Cedar: Maintain Beauty & Longevity Year-Round

Handcrafted cedar deserves a simple care routine to preserve its strength and color. The experts at All Things Cedar recommend:

• Lightly sanding and resealing your furniture every couple of years to maintain a rich hue
• Brushing off debris and wiping up spills promptly
• Using breathable covers during harsh weather, or storing lightweight pieces in a shed when not in use
• Letting cedar develop a silver-gray patina naturally, or using a clear oil-based stain with UV protection if you wish to keep the original red tones

With these easy steps, your cedar furniture will remain a centerpiece of outdoor living, aging gracefully—just as intended from the very first build. Attention to detail, from selecting each plank to the final finish, creates lasting value and sustainability in every piece.

Handcrafted Quality, Crafted for Outdoor Enjoyment

There’s a real satisfaction in knowing your outdoor furniture is thoughtfully designed, hand-assembled, and made to endure for years. At All Things Cedar, we take pride in every mortise, tenon, and perfectly sanded surface—elements often lost in mass-market furniture. This commitment to craftsmanship doesn't just mean better comfort and appeal; it delivers genuine peace of mind and a stronger connection to your outdoor lifestyle.
