Western Red Cedar 1x8
A wider board for coverage. Western Red Cedar 1x8 is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects with no chemical treatment, and it's sized for fewer boards and fewer seams on bigger runs.
Best for
- Wide fence boards and privacy screens
- Shelving and utility boards
- Fascia and trim on larger builds
- Garden bed and planter panels
Available in lengths from 6 to 12 feet. Left unfinished it weathers to a soft silver-grey; oiled or stained it holds its warm reddish tone for years. Need it wider still? We stock Western Red Cedar 1-inch from 1x2 up to 1x12.
