Only the finest grade Western Red Cedar is used to handcraft SCHOLS garden products. This particular wood is noted for being the most resistant to decay and warping, and will last for years with minimal maintenance. The rich warmth and fragrant beauty of cedar also makes it an attractive focal point of any garden. All products can be oiled, bleached, stained, painted or left to weather naturally.

This product is made with the finest grade Western Red Cedar and is naturally resistant to the elements. To prevent cracking and discoloration, use:

• Mineral Stabilizer containing Zinc Naphthenate to harden and turn the cedar silvery grey.
  
• Oil-based Stain / Bleaching Oil allows the natural colour and grain of the cedar to show through.
  
• Translucent Stain comes in a variety of wood tones and is extremely durable. Will not peel or flake.
  
• Coloured Latex Stain requires an oil-based primer to prevent peeling.
