Product Care & Maintenance
Western Red Cedar will turn a weathered grey if left
unfinished. Although no finish is required for
cedar products when used outdoors, a natural oil finish
applied regularly will help maintain the beauty and
minimize cracking and drying. It is
recommended to use Gronomics Garden Bed Oil
(Item # GBO-1Q), a non-toxic, food safe finish that is
very easy to apply.
