How long do cedar decks last? It is often asked whether or not cedar is a hardwood material. The response to this question would be negative because cedar wood is classified as softwood. Softwoods are usually coniferous species that produce cone seeds; therefore, cedar belongs to conifers. Cedar is very lightweight timber with many beneficial features, such as durability, weather resistance, insect proofing, and ease of processing. Because of its soft structure and low weight, cedar is easy to cut and nail, which makes it the perfect material for outdoor applications like building fences and decks, installing siding, or making furniture. Despite the fact that cedar is a much lighter and softer material, its natural protection properties make it a very effective exterior timber. In particular, it can serve for decades without any problems because of the natural oils contained in cedar.
