Western Red Cedar 1x3
A narrow, flexible board. Western Red Cedar 1x3 is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects with no chemical treatment, and it's the go-to for pickets and framing that doesn't need real width.
Best for
- Fence pickets and narrow gate slats
- Furring strips and shimming
- Planter box framing and trim
- Battens and small garden projects
Available in lengths from 4 to 12 feet. 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.
