The field of construction using solid sawn lumber is greatly diversified. It covers many types of engineered structures; commercial, industrial and residential buildings; and landscape structures such as bridges, arbors, pergolas, gazebos, field houses and the like. In general, applications can be classified into two very broad use-groups: first, for those structures such as large buildings in which both the strength and the appearance of exposed wood members are of equal importance; and second, in landscape, park and garden structures where appearance is paramount.
For both use-groups, Western Red Cedar offers the advantages of natural beauty, design flexibility, exceptional dimensional stability and long term durability. Cedar has a long history of withstanding the rigors of time and weather. It is also a recognized structural material with known mechanical and physical properties. These attributes allow the design of timber structures of all types using basic engineering principles and stress or appearance-rated grades of cedar. |
