Cedar decks are an ideal option to enhance the curb appeal and functionality of your property. Being very durable, western red cedar is prized for its long-lasting qualities and beauty. It is also a highly aromatic wood with amazing color and grain. These properties of the wood make western red cedar decking one of the most popular when it comes to choosing deck-building materials. What’s more, western red cedar lumber is nice to work with because it can be easily stained and painted.
Benefits of cedar decking include:
By cooperating with a professional deck builder company, the performance of your deck can be enhanced when protected against rain, snow, sunlight exposure, and other harmful factors. Penetrating finishes prevent cedar deck boards from peeling, flakes, or cracks, and the horizontal surface will endure the wearing and abrasive effects of foot traffic and scrapes that may occur. Also, the preservatives contain mildewcides and fungicides, helping to increase the durability.
It is worth considering that the cedar deck requires maintenance from time to time, so every 2-4 years it is recommended to apply a water-repellent wood preservative finish which is essentially colorless but does contain ultraviolet light blockers. Also, do not forget to keep the surface swept free of leaves, pine needles, and debris.

Cedar decks can last 15-20 years or longer. The key is to provide maintenance periodically (every 2-4 years).
To prevent graying and maintain the natural tones of the wood, you can use protective sealants and apply stains.
The treatment and staining of cedar decking should be performed every 2-3 years.
