Yellow Cedar STK 2x8 Plank
Select tight knots (STK) 2x8 Yellow Cedar is denser and more rot-resistant than Western Red Cedar — the size for beams, headers, and exposed structural work.
- Deck beams and headers
- Structural fence post caps and heavy gate framing
- Sauna structural framing
- Timber-look beams and exposed structural elements
Available in lengths from 6 to 16 feet. The tight, sound knots are part of the look; the density and natural oils are what make Yellow Cedar the pick for anything that has to survive decades of BC rain. Need a narrower board? We also stock this same STK grade in 2x4 and 2x6.
