About WRCLA
The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association is a non-profit association representing 27 producers of the finest Western Red Cedar lumber throughout the US and Canada. Ask for our quality products by name: “Real Cedar”!
Why Real Cedar?
For starters, this highly revered, durable wood is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attacks, which means any project you build with Real Cedar will last longer and require less maintenance. But wait!
There’s more:
BEAUTY - Aesthetically, there really is no substitute for the natural beauty of Real Cedar. Imbued with decidedly crisp, yet superbly rich, tonal properties, Real Cedar can create dynamic outdoor sanctuaries, embolden traditional home décor and inspire cutting-edge architecture.
VERSATILITY - Western Red Cedar is pitch and resin-free. Which means it’s ideal for accepting and holding a wide range of beautiful finishes. Real Cedar also offers a wide range of lumber dimensions, surface textures and grades. Ergo, whatever your desired effect is, Real Cedar’s got the wood for you.
SUSTAINABILITY - Independent studies prove that when it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetics products in every way. While other building materials generate greenhouse gasses, Western Red Cedar actually removes greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And unlike brick, cement and composites, Real Cedar is renewable and biodegradable. Plus, Real Cedar is sourced from the most sustainably managed forests in the world.

The planter looks great! How do the mitered cuts hold up over time?

[@lycanzhp1141]

Jim, my guy! Pretty slick with tools man. Nice job.

[@sherrylyntrenholm6082]

Nice job..my hubby donsome woodcrafts too

[@harxmoond]

These are beautiful. But over time the mitered corners will open up.

[@BaylilySue]

Great video. Thank you. One question: How much will it cost to fill this big planter with soil, and do you have a favorite DIY potting mix recipe for this? Again, thanks for sharing! 🥦

[@harrybarnes3539]

Check out "mel's mix for raised gardens." that's what we use

[@khrisschools8340]

What type of blade was used?

[@hejason9190]

Unfortunately, such good materials.

[@hastediscipline1525]

is 1x6 good aswell?

[@DeskClerks]

I'm a rookie at this, I made a sandbox for my kids with wood of lesser quality but didn't pre drill any of the holes and regretted, Is that step not necessary with cedar or did I just miss it?

[@allthingseverythings83]

👌👌👌

[@mcjnwood]

What is the cost for materials??

[@persadsanjay]

I am not sure what happened but my cedar raised bed inner struts started to rot and became very soft after a year

[@juanvillalpando9219]

Very cool but cedar is very expensive

[@PaulRevere731]

I used treated 2x10 lumber,which these days is much safer than arsenic treated lumber before the year 2000. I also, nail in a single run of 10" galvanized steel roof flashing onto the side of the board facing the dirt. Bend the extra 1/2 inch of flashing over the bottom of the 2x10 (which is actually 1.5x9.5). This will prevent the board from rotting and drastically reduce any treated chemicals leeching into the soil. My bracing posts in the corners in the middle are 2x4 cedar. I also sit my boards on paver blocks, going all around the bed to keep them off the ground. The bed will last 2-3 longer than non treated, non cedar wood.

[@djchancla2451]

Is cedar good for building a fence to avoid termites

Seriously. I found myself holding my breath while he was making his cuts.

[@codylaslo6292]

Very nice job but I just dont understand why you would spend so much money and time and not even use any glue.

[@derp195]

Your comment is embarrassing.

[@Osmien118]

...are you kidding me right now? diy at home by yourself? ummm, yeh that's a NOPE for me. here, cut these 45 angles, then cut points for spikes, yeh. if I were that good at wood-work, I wouldn't need this video. sorry, changed my like to a dislike. next...

[@patioex]

settle down Chad.... if you can't cut a simple 45 mitre without wetting your panties then yes hire a real man to do it for you

[@RustyZipper]

It matters none, a like or dislike is just the same regarding the KZbin algorithm. A comment is even better… 🫠
