Why choose Tidewater
Red Cypress?
This beautiful wood, grown only in the deep Southeastern coastal wetlands
and along the Gulf of Mexico is the true species, Taxodium Distichum.
Designed with natural self-defense against termites and decay, this wood
contains the best characteristics possible for log home construction.
There are no man-made elements added or needed!
 | Tidewater Red Cypress contains a high
concentration of natural "Cypressene". Put there by Mother Nature,
it's a chemical nontoxic to people and pets, but absolutely toxic to
termites. |
| The heartwood, milled logs we produce
also contain a natural oil that's highly antiseptic in preventing the
growth of fungi, which causes rot and decay. Accordingly, the USDA has
classified our heartwood as "very high in decay resistance, even under
conditions favorable to decay." |
| Tidewater Red Cypress grows with a
very tight, dense grain pattern making it far less susceptible to
warping and twisting common in other wood species. Absolute minimal
shrinkage and settling. And there is no need for screw jacks or slip
joints as with most other wood types.
