Collection · Cedar

Western Red Cedar, five signature styles — privacy, lattice and shadowbox.

Western Red Cedar in five styles — solid privacy, diagonal lattice in two grades, square lattice, and the good-neighbour shadowbox. The premium species for the fence everybody sees.

Cedar vs. Pressure-treated

Same panel. Two materials. Pick the one that fits the job.

Good Neighbour is cedar by default. For a pressure-treated shadowbox, the stocked Pressure-Treated Lattice Top carries the same both-sides-finished pattern with a diagonal lattice crown — cedar for appearance and longevity; pressure-treated for the jobs where budget matters more than species.

How we think about this collection
01
Pick by what the fence has to do

Privacy is the brief? The solid tongue-and-groove face has no gaps and no sight lines. Want light over the top? The lattice panels keep privacy below and air above — diagonal for the classic look, square for a modern grid. Shared property line? The Good Neighbour shadowbox reads finished from both yards.

02
Why Western Red Cedar

Cedar is naturally rot- and insect-resistant and ages to a silver-grey without losing structural integrity — no treatment chemicals, and staining is optional. It's the species you pay a premium for because it looks the part for decades. Budget-led run instead? The same shadowbox pattern comes in brown pressure-treated.

03
Heights, gates & install

6 ft × 8 ft standard, hanging between 8 ft posts at 96″ on centre — every NorthStar line shares the layout, so styles mix on one run. 4 ft and 5 ft heights, matching gates and custom sizes on request.
