Western Red Cedar Lumber

Western Red Cedar LumberA deck made with Western Red Cedar lumber, one of the world's most beautiful woods, is apt to be one of the best looking decks in the neighborhood. But Western Red Cedar decks have much more going for them than good looks alone. Extending living space to the outdoors, integrating home and landscape, making use of damp or uneven terrain and giving a contemporary look to a traditionally- styled home are just a few of the ways that decks make life a little better.

Once the decision has been made to build a deck, the choice of decking material is just as important as good design and quality construction. In today's environmentally conscious society, the natural choice is Western Red Cedar.

Western Red Cedar LumberAll wood used in the outdoors must be protected against decay and insect attack. Not only is Western Red Cedar lumber one of the few woods with its own preservative oils, its freedom from pitch and resin makes it an excellent base for protective coatings. Cedar has other natural qualities that make it the best choice for decking. It is the most stable of British Columbia's softwoods, so Western Red Cedar decks stay flat and straight and resist checking.

Western Red Cedar decks are firm but resilient underfoot, not hard and unyielding. The wood is light weight, easily worked and ideal for almost all types of finishes. It has an elegance that complements any architectural style and a beauty that blends into all landscapes. Whatever the reasons for building a deck, there is just one natural choice of decking material. Available in a wide range of grades and sizes, and price-competitive with lesser materials, Western Red Cedar decks are the beautiful, practical, long-lasting complement to any home.

J.C., La Mesa, CA

"My wife and I were really undecided on our backyard improvements. We had talked to so many people. Finally we got the straight scoop from the people at J&W. They recommended the right product, helped draw up the plans, and even gave us the phone number of a local contractor. Totally painless for me, and my neighbors think I am a genius. Thanks J&W!"

John B., San Diego, CA

"We just finished replacing an old deck with brand new composite decking. It changed our whole yard. There were so many choices, but the guys at J&W Lumber helped narrow it down and we got exactly what we wanted. We're thrilled with the way it came out."

Carole, Pt. Loma, CA
