    About This Product

    Every piece of cedar meets the highest grading standards for strength and appearance. Cedar is renowned for its appearance, stability, durability and weather resistance. Ideal for a variety of applications and outdoor projects where lumber is exposed to the elements. Cedar's natural oils and preservatives fight off weather, bugs, fungi and algae; and if desired, allow excellent absorption of stains and paint. Tannish brown in color, the grain pattern is tight with few knots.

    Answer This Question

    James is wrong - Jocko is correct. A 2x4 is actually 1.5 x 3.5 but a 1 x 4 (any 1" board) is actually 0.75 by 3.5. To complicate matters, the 1/2 hardwood boards are actually half inch.

        Used for an outdoor fence, the soft part develops black mold. What kind of stain or coating kills and prevents mold, while preserving natural wood look? Pls provide a link(s).

        Answer This Question

        A stain will not kill the mold. First use a moss killer like “30 sec Cleaner” or similar moss cleaners from HD. If your wood gets wet it will get moldy and probably need to be cleaned once a year. After cleaning apply a clean wood preservative or wood oil. The HD paint department can help you find one.

            Two questions: 1) Is the 1 in. x 2 in. x 8 ft. Select Tight Knot Kiln Dried Cedar Board treated with chemicals? 2) What does kiln drying do to the cedar? Thanks.

            Answer This Question

            No they are not treated and kiln drying removes moisture from the wood.

            The Select Tight Knot Kiln Dried Cedar Board is not treated with chemicals. Kiln drying lowers the moisture content of wood.

                A 1x2 is too small for a bed frame. Use 2x4 fir wood unless you like the smell of cedar. Fire is also much less expensive.

                We had outdoor beach furniture with plastic webbing that deteriorated from the weather. The aluminum frames were in great shape so I purchased the cedar lumber for the chair bottoms and back. I put a cedar stain on the slats and the finished chairs look great.

                Plant Shelf of Cedar ¾” x 3” x 8’ The cedar was soft and easy to work (with two sides milled; two sides rough) even though I lacked a table saw (recommended). I needed to select boards that were true and free of splits or large knots. I cut 4 upright legs and enough cleats for shelves and sanded all surfaces. I used Deckmate deck screws #8 1 1/4" coated but #6 deck screws might be sufficient and less likely to split wood. I took care not to split the ends when screwing shelf cleats to uprights. I used Titebond III Ultimate wood glue but any good quality wood glue may work. My shelves feature 24” x 6” porcelain tile (LifeProof “Shadow Wood” at Home Depot but several other wood-grain choices would have worked). I used two LIGHT coats of wood stain (Behr Premium stain and sealer) to match porcelain tile color, leaving wood grain to show. I found plans using a search engine for images (plant shelf) to find a suitable size and style, adopting it to my needs. I bought all supplies from Home Depot. This was a present to my wife and replaced a rusting plant shelf. I am not a carpenter and this challenged my wood working skills, but it was worth it because the cedar was so easy to use.

                  Beautiful but pick carefully
                  As with any 1x2, many of these can come with defects: warped, nicks, or knots. However, if you go in store and hand select, you wont be sorry. Gorgeous cedar for small projects!

                    much stock is out of spec or warped
                    Many of these are severely warped so you have to go thru at least twice as many to get what you need. Also, they are NOT 96”….typically, 95 1/4 to 95 1/2. Not a single one was 96”…. Frustrating. DOn’t know if it was just a bad lot from supplier. Also, store locator said “200 in stock” - there were actually 12
