SpecificationsAmerican 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.
