Northern White Cedar
All wooden equipment in GIGGLES is made with Northern White Cedar.
Northern White Cedar is the only wood used in playsets that is both naturally splinter-free and naturally long-lasting. It is also the only wood that achieves this without paints, stains or other chemical treatments.
Northern White Cedar naturally resists rot and insect damage. It contains substances produced by the tree itself to protect it from predators such as wood-destroying fungi and termites.
Northern White Cedar is also naturally splinter-free. The wood fibers are short and very soft, so even if there is a rough spot on the wood where the fibers have lifted away from the surface, the fibers are supple enough to bend and give way when touched, so it is sure to be gentle on your child. Because this is a natural characteristic of the wood, Northern White Cedar remains splinter-free without treatment over its lifetime of use.
Northern White Cedar is the best wood for outdoor play products. Period.
