Pine Pine is a great option because of its low price and extra strength. Because of its hardness, pine resists dents and dings better than redwood or cedar, and it is naturally somewhat less susceptible to cracks and splinters. This makes pine a superior choice for low maintenance and durability. The pine we use is pressure treated, which gives it a resistance to rotting and weathering like natural cedar. Cedar Cedar contains natural preservatives oils and resins that are resistant to rotting and weathering and make cedar a great choice for wood play equipment.
Many parents prefer the natural look of cedar to other materials.
We supplement this natural beauty and resistance with a pre staining process that prevents the wood from turning black over the years. Because of the greater strength of Pine, our cedar play equipment is actually made from both kinds of wood.
