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:
The expanded dimensions of the 8 x 22 Palram Canopia Natura Cedar Greenhouse provide endless possibilities for an efficient and well-organised growing space. With 22 feet of length to work with, you can design distinct zones for different stages of plant growth, creating a natural flow from propagation to mature plants. The generous height supports vertical gardening, making it easy to hang baskets (not included) from the sturdy cedar frame or install adjustable shelving (not included) along the walls to significantly increase planting capacity.
A wide interior allows for a central walkway and easy access to every part of the greenhouse. A potting station (not included) near the entrance keeps your workspace separate from your growing areas. The extended length also makes it ideal for microclimate zones. Position heat-loving plants toward the sunniest end while keeping more delicate varieties in the cooler section.
For climate control in a greenhouse of this size, consider a multi-zone automated watering system (not included) and strategically placed fans (not included) to maintain proper air circulation. The four automatic roof vents already help regulate temperature, but installing shade cloth can provide additional heat management during peak summer months.
Well-defined pathways along the 22-foot span will help prevent soil compaction and keep everything easily accessible. Incorporating thermal mass elements like water barrels or stone flooring can stabilise temperatures without taking up valuable growing space. With a thoughtful layout, this spacious greenhouse provides the flexibility and efficiency needed for year-round growing success.

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.
