Western Red Cedar is renowned world-wide for its unique weather-resistant properties:

  • IT DOSENT WARP
    Cedar is a lightweight and dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. Which means it resists the natural tendency to crack and check, as you might find in many other wood species.
  • IT STAYS COOL
    Western Red Cedar has an incredible thermal co-efficient, meaning even on hot days, it is cool to sit in.
  • Its bacterial and fungal resistance coupled with the fact that Cedar is 80% the strength of Oak, makes it the most desirable wood to use for building Outdoor furniture.
  • IT WON’T ROT
    Western Red Cedar fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot and decay making it excellent furniture material for moist or humid climates. These properties also make Cedar a very popular material for hot tub and sauna areas.
  • Western Red Cedar has been used for generations for roofing and shingles, fences, fence posts, planking for small boat hulls and, of course, for outdoor furniture. A Western Red Cedar fence post will last up to 16 years in the ground. We have found that left out year round, untreated and uncovered in Canada’s rugged winters, the furniture will last a minimum of 8 to 10 years. Furniture that is brought inside or covered for the winter will last twice that long.
  • IT SMELLS GREAT
    Naturally occurring organic compounds called (thujaplicins) give off that richly distinct cedar aroma that smells so good to humans but makes the wood highly unattractive to insects, moths and other pests. This is why Cedar is a choice material for closet liners and blanket storage chests.

Boat Transom Model Planter BoxesOur latest 2003 design is made of the same high quality white gel coated fiberglass as our original 2002 model. Includes your choice of trim (rub rail & double waterline) colors. We will also personalize it with text (surname, boat name or street address number) on the transom or order it without text.
Dimensions: 15″ Wide x 8″ High x 8″ Deep

Your planter includes your choice of trim colors shown below (rub rail & double waterline). Drainage holes in our planters are standard. Planters are pre-drilled for easy installation and are signed by Carol Parrott.

The creator, Carol Parrott International, Inc. has been in the yacht charter business since 1989. In 2002 we expanded to include the design and manufacture of half-hull boat window box planters. In 2003 we added two new designs; a half-hull boat transom planter and a half-hull boat transom mailbox.

The first design originated when Carol wanted to add a nautical atmosphere to her gardening shed. Unable to find a window box planter with any nautical style, she decided to design her own, a classic half-hull boat. You will notice that the back of the planter is flat so it lays flush against a wall, fence or railing.
