Inland Cedar and Western Red Cedar

When choosing between Inland Cedar and Western Red Cedar for a new fence installation, consider several key differences. Inland Cedar, also known as Eastern White Cedar, is a lighter wood with a slightly lower price point than Western Red Cedar. It offers good resistance to decay and insects but may require more frequent maintenance and finishing to maintain its appearance.

On the other hand, Western Red Cedar is renowned for its natural beauty, rich color variations, and exceptional durability against decay and insects. It requires less maintenance and is more dimensionally stable than Inland Cedar, making it a popular choice for premium fence installations.

Since Western Red Cedar offers superior durability and visual appeal for a long-lasting fence, it is the only Cedar we use at Sterling Fence, Eden Prairie.
