About Cedar
Cedar is an excellent choice for greenhouses due to its natural durability and resistance to the elements. Rich in natural oils, cedar is naturally rot-resistant, helping prevent decay, insect damage, and mould growth without chemical treatments. Its weather-resistant properties make it well-suited for outdoor structures, easily standing up to rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, cedar is dimensionally stable, meaning it resists warping and cracking better than many other types of wood. Beyond its practical benefits, cedar has a pleasant, aromatic scent and a timeless aesthetic, making it a beautiful and long-lasting option for greenhouse construction. Applying a protective finish can extend its lifespan and maintain its rich appearance, ensuring years of reliable use.

Make the Most of Your Wooden Greenhouse:
Consider implementing a thoughtful layout that optimises growing space and workflow efficiency to maximise your greenhouse's potential. Start by positioning tall plants and vining crops along the back wall, with shorter varieties in front for optimal sun exposure. Install adjustable shelving (not included) along the sides to create flexible growing zones that adapt to your changing needs throughout the seasons. A potting bench (not included) near the entrance will create an efficient workspace for transplanting and maintenance tasks. Automate your growing environment with a combination fan and thermostat system (not included) to regulate temperature, and consider adding shade cloth for summer heat management. Maximise vertical space by installing hanging baskets (not included) from the roof supports, perfect for trailing plants or herbs. Create dedicated zones for propagation, mature plants, and hardening off areas. For water management, consider setting up an automatic irrigation system (not included) with multiple zones to ensure consistent watering. Add path markers or stepping stones to clear walkways and prevent soil compaction. To extend your growing season, incorporate heat-retaining features like thermal mass - water-filled containers or stone paths can absorb heat during the day and release it at night, helping to maintain more stable temperatures.

Wooden Greenhouse Aftercare:
Natural Aging Option - Cedar can be left untreated, allowing it to naturally weather to an elegant silvery-grey patina through exposure to sun and rain. This aging process doesn't compromise the wood's structural strength; many find the weathered appearance aesthetically pleasing.
Protective Treatment Options - If you prefer to maintain cedar's original colour and maximise its lifespan, consider these protective finishes:
- UV-Protective Stain or Sealant - Shields the wood from sunlight to prevent fading and greying while offering weather protection.
- Exterior Wood Oil - Natural options like tung or linseed oil penetrate the wood, highlighting its grain pattern while providing water resistance.
- Wood Sealer - Clear or semi-transparent sealers create a protective barrier against moisture while maintaining wood breathability.
Treatment Guidelines for Cedar
When treating cedar in a greenhouse environment, follow these key principles:
Choose breathable, non-toxic finishes to avoid introducing harmful chemicals into your growing space. Plan to reapply your chosen treatment every 2-3 years as needed. Ensure proper ventilation around wooden elements to prevent moisture accumulation.
Interior Treatment Considerations
For cedar surfaces inside the greenhouse, prioritise plant-safe options:
- Eco-friendly, non-toxic sealers
- Natural wood oils
- Beeswax-based treatments
These choices protect the wood while maintaining a healthy environment for your plants.
