Caring for our products is easy. There are a variety of finishes
that can be used (stain, paint, varnish, urethane, wood sealer,
or wood oil) or you can do nothing at all.

This is obviously the easiest program to follow! Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and rot and doesn't taste good to insects (due to the natural oils in it). If you leave it outside in the sun it will naturally weather to a beautiful silvery patina gray color.
Surprisingly, once this happens, the rate of wood aging slows tremendously. The changes undergone in the surface that produce the gray color actually prevent UV light from penetrating to the interior of the wood, thus protecting it in a natural way.
In the future, if you ever decide the gray color isn't for you, you can sand the surface of the wood to reveal fresh, new cedar once again.
Please note that any wood product that has been protected with some form of stain or sealant will last longer (or at least look newer for longer) than one which has not, but thanks to the marvelous resiliency of cedar, your cedar furniture will still last for many, many years even if left unprotected.
