Thank you for reaching out—and I completely understand your concern. Cedar is a common trigger for many people, and it’s smart to ask before making a purchase. To answer your question directly: yes, our outdoor bench factory does use several other types of wood besides cedar. In fact, we offer a variety of benches made from teak, acacia, eucalyptus, and even recycled plastic lumber. These materials are chosen not only for their strength and weather resistance but also because they are naturally free of cedar’s aromatic oils, which are the main cause of allergic reactions. Teak is a particularly popular alternative because it contains minimal natural resins that irritate the skin, and it holds up beautifully in outdoor conditions without requiring chemical treatments. Acacia is another excellent option—it’s dense, water-resistant, and has a warm, rich color that many customers love. Eucalyptus is a more sustainable choice that still provides durability and a smooth finish. If you want to avoid wood altogether, our recycled plastic benches offer the look of wood with zero allergy risk. We do not mix cedar into these production lines, and we label every product clearly so you can be 100% certain about what you’re bringing into your yard. If you have a specific style or size in mind, I’d be happy to point you toward the cedar-free models we currently have in stock. Just let me know what you need—we’re here to make sure you get a beautiful, comfortable bench that doesn’t make you sneeze or itch.
