Western Red Cedar Posts & Timbers - #2 & Better Grade

#2 & better appearance grade (not graded for structural characteristics).
Available rough sawn and green (not dried) only.
Green timbers that will likely arrive with checks and splits and will likely develop additional checks and splits.
The inclusion of splits and/or checks does not constitute a defective timber.
If timbers with checks and/or splits are not acceptable for your project, you may want to consider other products, such as architectural grade laminated beams.
For net dimensions other than those shown below, order next larger size; net dimensions listed below are approximate at time of manufacture and will decrease as timber continues to air dry or increase as timber takes on moisture.
For larger sizes and lengths, other grades, or S4S timbers, please contact our office for pricing and order lead time.
Special order. Lead time is about two weeks.
Not returnable for exchange or credit.
