How does cedar weather and how long will it last?
Cedar is a wood with a well-deserved reputation for durability and natural rot resistance. It has been used for generations for roofing and shingles, fences, fence posts, planking for small boat hulls and, of course, for outdoor furniture. Department of Agriculture tells us that a cedar fence post will last up to 16 years in the ground. We have found that left out year round, untreated and uncovered, cedar will last a minimum of 8 to 10 years. Cedar that is brought inside or covered for the winter will last twice that long.
