Incense Cedar: The fencing material that stays intact, rain or shine

Incense Cedar is taking over Western Red Cedar for one of the most widely used woods in the fencing industry. With its many great properties and lower price point, it’s not hard to see why.

Incense Cedar is native to forests in western Nevada, southern Oregon and California. It is an blond, fine-looking wood with clean, straight grains and is non-resinous. Due to its non-resinous nature, this wood holds lacquer and other stains better than resinous woods.

The key to Incense Cedar’s success in fencing may be its notable decay resistance and ability to hold up against weather conditions, even without protectant. It holds up well under all weather conditions, is the least likely of the cedars to shrink and is less combustible.

Not only does it fare well under varying conditions, but it’s the ideal wood to work with. It machines easily and finishes with a smooth, silken surface. Incense Cedar outperforms Western Red in machining, nailing resistance and its ability to hold nails and screws.

Incense Cedar makes an attractive fence with high dimensional stability and weather durability while remaining at a low cost.
