Planted your vegetable garden yet? Western Red Cedar is a great wood to use for garden beds. It’s durable, naturally resistant to rot and decay and very stable. Since Cedar is resistant to rot without being treated with any chemicals, it’s an ideal wood for vegetable gardens. Cedar is also a very sustainable wood and is constantly being replenished. The grain in Cedar stays much straighter than pine or treated lumber.
The most economical way to purchase Western Red Cedar is with #2 grade wet timbers. The board is called “wet”, sometimes referred to as “green”, because it has been cut but not air or kiln-dried. Cedar dries fairly quickly and should be partially air-dried by the time they reach your yard. Left rough, these boards are are thicker than nominal boards and will provide sturdier walls for your raised garden bed.
The Rough #2 Western Red Cedar boards are on sale for a limited amount of time this spring. We sell these boards by the linear foot. As long as we can return 8′ back to stock, purchase just what you need. Need boards cut to your garden bed size? No problem, we can do a cross-cut on your boards while you wait.
