Select Cedar
Standard vs Premium Cedar
Our construction cedar is divided into two categories – standard and premium.
The standard grade cedar comes good one face and two edges, and allows for some wane on the back side of the material (i.e. it’s not completely smooth on the back side). Often this grade of material is used in applications where you won’t see the back side of the wood, like on a deck).
The premium grade comes good four sides. This is typically used in applications where all sides of the wood will be visible, like on a pergola.
