Cedar doesn't rot because it is water resistant and if it isn't sealed it will last you pretty long. It can last up to 8 years if not sealed

*After "8 years" then what? Cedar rots like any other wood if you wait long enough. How long depends on factors such as how much water can get trapped where two cedar parts touch or how severely it is constantly dried out (dry rot).

It is wood so it will rot eventually, but ceder is a rot resistant wood that will take a longer time. If treated with sealer it should last years.
