Can Western Red Cedar Battens be left untreated?
Yes – untreated cedar naturally weathers to a silvery-grey, adding character to outdoor spaces. UV-resistant oil or stain can preserve its warm reddish-brown colour.
How do I fix these battens for fencing or screens?
They can be fixed using screws, nails, or clips, depending on your design. Pre-drill if using hardwood screws to avoid splitting.
Are these battens suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely – cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect attack, making it ideal for outdoor fencing, screens, and decorative features.
Can the battens be cut to size?
Yes – these battens can be cut to your required length for custom fencing or screening projects.
How do I maintain the appearance of the cedar?
For a natural grey patina, no maintenance is needed. For a warm reddish-brown finish, apply UV-resistant oil or stain periodically to maintain colour and protect against weathering.
Are these battens eco-friendly?
Yes – all Grade A Western Red Cedar is sustainably sourced, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
