Treated Cedar...a Contradiction of Terms

We often asked for “treated cedar,” which is a contradiction of terms. Cedar already has the natural chemicals in the wood to resist rot/decay and insect damage. To then apply additional chemicals into the wood is an unnecessary step. 
Cedar is the natural choice for many exterior applications like fencing, trim, pergolas raised garden beds and decks.

On a related note, the chemicals now used to treat lumber are much “better” in every way – safety, health/environment and longevity; however they are still chemicals. Treated lumber should not be used in contact with drinking water or food, including vegetable garden beds.

Does your yard need a new fence?

Front Range Lumber has Western Red Cedar 4” picket supplementing our 7/8” dry “Supreme” Inland Red Cedar picket in stock!

This new item is ¾” thick, rough sawn on both faces. This is not a truly graded both sides picket, but may better satisfy customer demands of an even better looking picket – meaning both sides of the fence look the same (although one side will have the posts and rails. Remember virtually ALL lumber is graded to only one face and side edge.
