Products made with rescued cedar mean the wood is comprised of small pieces of milled cedar wood that would have otherwise been scrapped. These small pieces are joined together to create are larger components giving our products a beautiful mosaic look. Best of all, no trees are specifically harvested to produce our rescued cedar planters.
The cedar boards used in our products are 0.75 inches / 1.9 cm thick.
Our cedar is completely natural and untreated. All CedarCraft products are proudly made in North America from Western Red Cedar sourced from Canada.
To make CedarCraft’s beautiful Rescued Western Red Cedar panels a non-toxic glue is used. This glue is specifically designed for our application. Once cured, the glue becomes a solid adhesive that will not leach into surrounding mediums- even when wet. Additionally, this formula eliminates VOC’s and waste found in many traditional adhesives.
Without oil/stain, the biggest noticeable difference, is your planter will begin to develop a silver patina over a couple seasons. If you wish to maintain the out-of-the-box look then it is recommended you oil or stain your planter. Regardless of staining, your planter will provide you many-many years of gardening enjoyment.

Our spruce planters are treated with food-safe water-based wood preservatives.
Our planters are shipped with stainless steel screws.
The legs come with a pre-installed plastic foot to prevent scratching. This foot also has a recessed receptacle for the caster.
The plastic in the reservoir is polypropylene. As you may be aware, polypropylene is one of the few “safe” plastics as it does not contain harmful phthalate or bpa and has a higher melting temperature. Polypropylene, abbreviated PP, is FDA approved for food contact and is regularly used in food storage containers.
