Western Red Cedar 2 Inch Plank
When the build is structural, this is the board. Our Western Red Cedar 2-inch planks run from 2x2 to 2x12 and up to 20 feet long: straight, dimensionally stable, and strong enough for framing that also has to look good.
Best for
- Deck joists, beams, and railings
- Pergolas and arbors
- Benches and outdoor furniture
- Heavy-duty fence rails and gate frames
Unlike pressure-treated framing, cedar resists rot and insects naturally, takes stain beautifully, and stays workable with everyday tools. The pieces that show and the pieces that hold can finally be the same wood.
