4" Flat Roof Design: Provides a sleek, low-profile finish while still offering excellent protection from the elements.

Care & Maintenance:
-
While cedar is naturally resilient, we recommend applying an insect-friendly wood preserver for added protection.
-
Weather the roof outdoors for 7 days prior to introducing it to your hive to allow the wood to settle.
-
To maintain the roof’s integrity and appearance, consider re-treating the wood every 3–4 years.
A beautiful and practical choice, the Western Cedar Roof combines natural aesthetics with reliable protection—perfect for any National hive setup.
