Our Western Red Cedar battens are perfect for creating stunning slatted panels that will elevate any outdoor space. They provide privacy, define boundaries, and offer a beautiful backdrop to planting – while still allowing natural light to filter through. Available in a range of lengths and finished with a smooth, planed surface that highlights the timber’s attractive grain, the battens are supplied uncoated so they can weather naturally to a soft silver‑grey over time.
Western Red Cedar is a stable, straight‑grained timber valued for its natural resistance to decay and insect attack. With its warm tones and proven durability, it is an excellent choice for garden landscaping and outdoor structures. Sourced from the slow‑grown forests of the Pacific Northwest in Canada, our cedar is responsibly and sustainably harvested by trusted partners, then carefully graded to ensure consistent quality.
Proven durability – Naturally resistant to decay and insect attack, Western Red Cedar delivers lasting performance without the need for treatment or modification. Its durability makes it a reliable, long-lasting cladding solution designed to perform beautifully for decades.
Dimensional stability – As a small movement timber, Western Red Cedar has a low shrinkage rate and resists warping even in fluctuating humidity. It is lightweight yet strong, making it easy to handle and install. It also has excellent insulating properties and can help to improve the overall energy efficiency of buildings.
Natural colouring – Western Red Cedar has warm rich colours that range from light amber to deep reddish-brown creating a luxurious and natural aesthetic wherever it is used.
Sustainability – Sourced from PEFC™ certified forests through trusted forestry partnerships, Western Red Cedar supports environmentally responsible practices.
Versatility – Cedar battens can be installed in any orientation – vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, allowing flexibility in design to suit a range of aesthetic preferences. The combination of beauty, workability, and long-lasting performance makes it a preferred material for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
