Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects with no chemical treatment. Left unfinished it weathers to a soft silver-grey; oiled or stained it holds its warm reddish tone for years. Need more stiffness for decking or shelving? Step up to our 5/4 planks. Building structural? See the 2-inch planks.
