At Gabriel Ash, the material is just as important as the design, which is why we choose the finest PEFC certified Western Red Cedar wood for our greenhouses. It isn’t just wood, it’s a living, breathing material with natural beauty and performance built in.
Why cedar wood?
🌱Natural durability – Cedar resists rot and decay, giving your greenhouse long-lasting strength without heavy treatments.
🌱Natural scent – Light, fresh and organic.
🌱Stable and resilient – Cedar’s natural oils help it withstand changing weather with grace.
🌱Beautiful colour – it’s warm, honey-rich tones change over time creating a timeless look in your garden.
Our greenhouses start with soft golden hues that gently mature into a beautiful shade of grey as the wood weathers. Should you wish to minimise the initial stage of this staining, a Cedar specific UV protection oil can be applied which will slow down the colour changing process. However, most people don’t treat the structure. Structures are expected to last between 15 and 30 years, some of our customers have had theirs longer than this too!
With Gabriel Ash cedar wood, you get strength, beauty and character, all in one remarkable material 🌿
