American White Cedar

Chamaecyparis thyoides

Known for its durability and excellent weathering characteristics, American White Cedar is a premier choice for both interior and exterior lumber applications. The species is a non-splintering wood that has a very pleasant, yet subtle aroma. Common applications include decking, fencing, exterior siding, interior paneling, and boat building applications.

Recommended Uses:

Decking

American White Cedar decking is soft on the feet with little-to-no splintering or raised grain.

Exterior Siding

Rated one of the most highly decay resistant species, American White Cedar siding ages to a beautiful gray color and naturally withstands the test of time.

Fence Stock

American White Cedar fencing is light-weight and easy to work with while remaining durable.

Gates Milling, Inc. sources most of its logs from within 150 miles of the mill location. American White Cedar grows along the Atlantic Coast from Maine to northern parts of Florida, and inland along the Gulf Coast towards Louisiana.
