Yellow Cedar 5/4x6 Decking Rounded Edge
The upgrade pick for decks that live in BC weather. Alaskan Yellow Cedar is denser and harder than Red Cedar: it dents less under furniture and dog claws, wears slower under foot traffic, and ranks among the most naturally rot-resistant softwoods in the world.
Best for
- Deck surfaces in high-traffic or exposed locations
- Stairs and landings
- Dock and waterfront decking
- Sauna benches and exteriors
Milled to the standard 5/4x6 decking profile in lengths from 6 to 16 feet. Its fine, uniform grain and pale golden colour age to an even silver, and its natural oils do the preserving with no chemical treatment.
