At Cedar Bayou, we specialize in crafting custom Western Red Cedar doors and gates, tailored to elevate the beauty and security of your home or business. Based in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana, we take great pride in blending timeless craftsmanship with the warmth and natural beauty of Western Red Cedar, a wood that’s as durable as it is stunning.

Our mission is simple: to create high-quality, handcrafted doors and gates that not only serve as functional entryways but also as unique pieces of art. Every piece we build is meticulously designed and constructed using traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon and dowel joinery. These methods, paired with our expertise, ensure that each door is sturdy, precise, and made to last for years to come.

Why do we do what we do? Because we believe that a door is more than just an entryway – it’s a statement. It’s the first impression of your home, the welcome you offer to guests, and a symbol of strength and beauty. That’s why we take the time to craft each door by hand, one at a time, with a level of care and attention to detail that’s unmatched. No shortcuts. No assembly lines. Just the finest materials and the craftsmanship of skilled artisans.

From the selection of the finest Western Red Cedar to the final finishing touches, our commitment to quality is unwavering. Whether you're seeking a classic design or something completely unique, we are dedicated to bringing your vision to life with a door or gate that will stand the test of time.

Thank you for choosing Cedar Bayou — where craftsmanship and beauty come together.

We choose Western Red Cedar for our doors and gates because it offers the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and weather resistance. Known for its rich, warm hues and distinctive grain patterns, Western Red Cedar adds a timeless elegance to any entryway. Its natural beauty only improves with age, developing a beautiful silver patina over time if left unfinished.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Western Red Cedar is exceptionally durable and resilient. It is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, making it ideal for outdoor use in any climate.

We take pride in sourcing all of our Western Red Cedar from mills located within the USA, supporting sustainable practices and ensuring the highest quality lumber for our products.

At Cedar Bayou, every door and gate we create begins with the highest quality rough sawn lumber. Each piece is carefully selected, ensuring it is perfectly suited for its intended purpose. Once the lumber is cut, it is planed to a smooth, even finish, enhancing the wood’s natural grain and preparing it for the next steps in our meticulous construction process.

The heart of our craftsmanship lies in the traditional joinery techniques we use. Every component is carefully joined together using mortise and tenon joinery, methods that have stood the test of time for their strength and durability. This creates a solid, long-lasting bond between the components, ensuring your door or gate will stand strong for years.

From start to finish, each door and gate is crafted by hand, with an unwavering focus on quality, precision, and attention to detail. We believe that great craftsmanship is in the details, and every step of our process is designed to create a product that you can be proud to showcase for years to come.
