Split Western Red Cedar palings, posts, rails, and grape stakes are both beautiful and durable. The durability comes without chemical preservatives since the heartwood of red cedar has its own resins, tannins and oils that make it highly resistant to rot, insects, and decay-causing fungus. It is important to note that all studies of durability focus on heartwood. In general, sapwood, regardless of species, has a low resistance to decay.
