The cedar wood has cracks. Is this a defect?Updated an hour ago
Cedar is a natural material and will expand and contract depending on moisture and climate.
Small surface cracks or hairline splits can be normal, especially in dry environments.
However, please contact us if you notice:
Large structural cracks
Gaps between staves
Movement affecting structural integrity
Leaking through the wood
Splitting around metal bands
Send photos and details about your climate and installation location so we can properly assess.
