Cedar Series
built with a unique outdoor-oriented spirit
Premium handcrafted Canadian made cedar products
In 2020 we teamed up with Leisurecraft, a family owned Canadian manufacturer located in Melancthon (formerly Dundalk) Ontario to supply outdoor saunas, showers and hot tubs to the New Zealand and Pacific market.
Leisurecraft pride themselves on putting quality and service into all of their products. They take an eco-friendly approach by sourcing wood from replenishing and sustainable mills that take the environment seriously.
We have really enjoyed bringing these exciting, eye-catching products into the Safari Tent product portfolio and the NZ market, all made with great care from Leisurecraft's skilled carpenters.
Canadian Clear Red Cedar
Premium Grade
Canadian Eastern White Cedar
Lighter coloured cedar with knots
The majority of products that we supply are clear Western Red Cedar. Clear cedar (minimal or no knots) is a premium quality product. We can supply some products in knotty red cedar.
As the name suggests this is a light coloured cedar but has the same natural resistance to decay and insect damage as its much larger cousin! With more knots it does not have the clear appearance of our premium grade clear red cedar, which is reflected in the price.
Red or White?
-
They will both perform the same and last as long as each other
-
The smell of the white cedar is not quite as strong as red cedar
-
There are more knots in white cedar compared to red cedar
-
If not stained, they will both grey overtime.Both white and red do not need treating but can be stained or painted
-
White and red cedar are both more stable and longer lasting than pine.
All cedar is not equal!
We sell premium cedar products supplied by accredited Canadian mills and are priced accordingly! We do not sell budget products, they do not last and by definition are not environmentally friendly. Some cedar products may look similar but are much cheaper. They might not originate from Canada, they might not even be made of cedar! Make sure you compare like with like. If you want a budget solution, we might not be the answer but if you want a quality hand-made Canadian product – read on!
