Why Choose A Cedar Picnic Table?

Why would you pay more for a cedar picnic table? Well, my Calgary friend….two reasons + 1 for fun:

1) Cedar is incredibly awesome (smells great, looks great)
2) It is cost effective and the math makes sense.
3) You don’t need to treat it for a great life span.
4) Not many people have one…. (so you can brag

Normal spruce tables have to be treated anywhere from yearly to every 5 years to stay in shape. Having done table treatments when I first started, I can tell you it’s an awful time.

Now consider that an unfinished cedar table can last you up to 20 years with 10-15 years being pretty normal around Calgary. Add up the time involved in staining a table, the cost of stain and supplies and all the chemical dirtiness…. why wouldn’t you just pay the extra $100 and never have to worry about it again?

Lets not forget the beautiful smell of cedar and the natural shading to grey it takes on as it ages. It really is a beautiful wood.

You don’t need to treat our Calgary Cedar picnic tables with chemicals for preservation. ? There are natural oils in the wood that aid in giving Cedar a longer life. That makes our cedar picnic tables 100% cost and labor free — YOU, don’t need to do a thing. Our cedar picnic tables are naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects.

How Can That Be? Well, the cool thing about cedar wood is that cedar wood contains oils that act as natural preservatives that help the wood resist the fungi that rot wood, and the insects that like to eat wood.  These are the same oils that give cedar its beautiful smell. That smell that us humans like so much… insects just happen to hate as an added bonus.

So how will a cedar picnic table age? Over time the fresh cut cedar color will start to silver out. The wood grain will raise a little over time, and you’ll see it better. Cedar wood lies flat and stays straight, the only downside is end grain surface cracks on drying.

So in the end if you get a cedar picnic table, you may pay a few extra bucks but you definitely get what you pay for minus the chemicals and time wasted getting dirty staining the bugger!
