Featured Product: Western Red Cedar 5-inch Pickets

Western red cedar is considered one of the finest wood fencing materials. Very rich and vibrant in its red color, this wood has many impressive qualities such as decay and insect resistance, an easy-to-stain surface and high dimensional stability.

Not Your Typical Picket

If you’re looking into installing a wooden fence, western red cedar is an excellent choice. However, it only works if you can find the correct picket size for your preferences and property. Most suppliers sell a standard 4-inch and 5-1/2 inch wooden picket. However, there is a big difference between the two, leaving some looking for more options.

At America’s Fence Store, we understand the customer’s desire for alternatives and we are one of the few in the market who offer a 5-inch picket option. These 5-inch pickets give customers more choices and customization for their fence.

Our western red cedar 5-inch pickets are dimensional, which means their actual size is a little less than is listed. These pickets’ dimensions are actually 5/8” x 5” x 6’.

Great Properties

There are natural oils in cedar that act as preservatives that help protect the wood from insects and decay. Western red cedar does not need any chemical treatments to build up its resistance, keeping these pickets safe and non-toxic. With a much smaller threat from rot and termites, western red cedar has an impressively long utility life when compared to other wood fence materials.

Western red cedar takes in and releases water regularly, which helps to keep it from shrinking and warping. Fences made with this cedar are long-lasting and will stay looking good-as-new.

Western red cedar is known for its beauty, its warm red wood drawing in many. These cedar fences bring curbside appeal along with their other notable benefits. Western red cedar is also very receptive to stains in case you want to freshen it up as it ages.
