Cedar
wood (also known by its botanical name, Juniperus virginiana) is not only used
in furniture such as chests—they can also be incorporated into building homes.
Because of its longevity and durability, western red cedar is popularly used
for siding, decking, fencing, and roofing. It weathers well and is suitable for
many kinds of outdoor building projects. Red cedar can also be very useful for
indoor construction in areas where the climate is humid because it resists
warping. This type of wood is decay resistant and long lasting, making it a
wonderful choice for both outdoor and indoor projects.
If
you need cedar for construction, be sure to look for a cedar retailer that can
provide a wide variety of
cedar lumber, timber, boards, shakes, beams, and
shingles. Some of the best cedar lumber retailers in the US can offer almost
any type or size for your unique usage requirements.
Sadly, not all cedar woods are harvested in an environmentally friendly manner. If you care about the earth, then you should find a cedar lumber retailer that can guarantee the sustainability of its products. Their cedar wood should come from sustainably managed forests, preferably in British Columbia where only a third of one percent of the total cedar trees is harvested each year.
You
also want to look at the cedar lumber retailer shipping and delivery options
before you order. The retailer should determine the most cost effective method
of delivery based on the volume. Smaller shipments (not exceeding two tons) are
typically shipped via a partner freight company. Larger shipments may be
delivered via the retailer’s own flatbed trailer—they travel directly from the
retailer’s warehouse to your site. This ensures more control over the delivery
time and date as well as direct delivery even to gated communities.
