Elevate your next outdoor project with the timeless beauty and rugged durability of our 6 x 6 Select Tight Knot (STK) Western Red Cedar. Known for its rich tonal variations and structural integrity, this timber is the gold standard for builders who want a "grown-in" look without sacrificing quality.

Key Product Features

Select Tight Knot (STK) Grade: Unlike lower grades, our STK cedar features knots that are sound, tight, and structurally integrated into the wood. This provides a rustic, authentic character while ensuring the timber remains sturdy.

Natural Resistance: Red Cedar is world-renowned for its natural oils that provide a built-in defense against decay, moisture, and insect damage.

Dimensional Stability: Cedar has a low shrinkage factor, meaning your posts are less likely to warp, twist, or check compared to pressure-treated alternatives.

Thermal Properties: Naturally cool to the touch, making it the perfect choice for high-traffic structures like pergolas and deck railings.

Common Applications

This 6 x 6 timber is a heavy-duty workhorse, ideal for:

Structural Posts: For pergolas, gazebos, and pavilions.

Luxury Fencing: Large-scale gate posts and decorative fence accents.

Retaining Walls: Naturally rot-resistant landscaping features.

Interior Accents: Exposed ceiling beams for a warm, Pacific Northwest aesthetic.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: While Western Red Cedar weathers to a beautiful silver-grey over time, we recommend applying a UV-inhibiting sealer or stain to preserve those deep amber and cinnamon hues.
