Iroko Wood or Cedar wood for cladding on boundary fence for back garden

doireann08 · 2014-07-26 10:23:42

Hi I am doing some work on my back garden. I live in a terraced house and I am looking to clad the boundary fences. I am not sure whether to choose Cedar or Iroko. Does anyone have experience with either and how easy are they to maintain?

Just bought some 1" iroko and the stuff is almost 50 euro /cubic foot. Cedar has got to be even more. ? I think most people would use pressure treated softwood but if you can buy precut cladding I'm open to correction.
