Western Red Cedar 1x2
The thin, versatile lath. Western Red Cedar 1x2 is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects with no chemical treatment, and it's the board most builders reach for when the job calls for something light rather than structural.
Best for
- Lattice, trellis lath, and screening slats
- Battens over board-and-batten siding
- Small trim and edging
- Garden stakes and light-duty builds
Available in 6 and 7 foot lengths. Left unfinished it weathers to a soft silver-grey; oiled or stained it holds its warm reddish tone for years. Need a wider board? We stock Western Red Cedar 1-inch from 1x2 up to 1x12.
