Cedar prices and availability have fluctuated over the last few years, but we’re expecting our stock to remain stable again for the 2024 building season. 

The building industry has continued to remain stable, which has allowed us to maintain most of the pricing for our 2024 stock. 

2024 Cedar Pricing

At The WoodSource, we aim to be market leaders with our cedar pricing. Based on information from our suppliers, we expect cedar pricing to stay fairly firm this summer. As a baseline for cost, at the time of this writing, our retail cedar pricing starts at: 

• $1.89 LF for 2×4 premium grade cedar. 
• $1.99 LF for 5/4×6 standard grade cedar decking. 
• $7.99 each for 1x6x5’ standard grade cedar fence board. 

For any small fluctuations in pricing and to help contractors plan out deck and fence projects, we maintain cedar price lists on our website. These price lists are updated daily (Monday – Friday) and are available as PDF downloads.

To download our cedar (and other fence and decking) price lists, please visit our Price List page.

2024 Cedar Availability 

We’re already stocking our 11-acre yard with cedar decking, fencing, shingles, and posts. By the end of April, we will have the largest supply of western red cedar in eastern Ontario.  

A fully stocked cedar yard allows us to offer next-day delivery to homes and job sites (within Ottawa) and bi-weekly deliveries as far as Montreal or Kingston.

To help contractors and homeowners with ordering, we have all our cedar products listed online. These items have up-to-date pricing and inventory and can be ordered for pick-up or local delivery. 

Some items, like tongue and groove boards are milled onsite and might have periods of low stock depending on demand. To help plan your projects, in addition to price lists, we also have a cedar and pressure-treated inventory page that is updated Monday – Friday by 8 AM.
