Cedar provides excellent gaff penetration for secure footing. Cedar's heartwood produces chemical compounds called extractives that naturally resist decay, fungi and insects. Cedar's outstanding carrying capacity and flexibility allows poles to withstand extreme weight and severe weather conditions. Cedar's straight grain and uniform texture mean virtually no twisting after installation. This minimizes pole fracture caused by severe weather or mechanical damage. Pressure treating extends cedar's inherent long service life up to 80 years, with little or no maintenance.
