Cedar shingles and shakes

It occurred to me the other day that a lot of people don’t know where to find western red cedar shingles for repairs and new siding and accents. A contractor customer asked if we could get shingles and commented that “those things are hard to find” and I thought, if a contractor can’t find them, what about everyone else? Well rest assured, if you are looking for cedar shingles, we try to have them ALL OF THE TIME. #1 grade that are 100% old growth and 100% edge grain. #2 grade which are certainly great for siding AND WILL SAVE nearly 35 percent.

It doesn’t stop there, we also have Alaskan yellow cedar shingles and Alaskan yellow cedar #2 5/8 tapersawn shakes that are a crazy good deal.

Alaskan Yellow Cedar Decking and more

The newest thing at Mill Outlet Lumber is Kiln dried select appearance Alaskan Yellow Cedar decking. We have a complete offering of sizes in 5/4 x4, 5/4×6, 2×4 and 2×6 and lengths from 8′-20′ long. Yellow cedar is strong and resists rot fungus and insects even better than Western red cedar and at a lower price. Left to weather naturally it turns an interesting silver gray color.

Split Rail

Mill Outlet is the only place to get your Western Red cedar Split rail fencing. We carry high quality cedar split rail in large amounts and a variety of sizes and configurations

Pony weight, lightest weight and lowest cost, works great for wetlands delineation and ornamental landscape purposes but still robust enough for projects like parks and walking trails. Comes in   10′ rail lengths and in 2 rail (3′ high).

Standard rail, is heavier and generally straighter grained material. Works for everything pony weight does but has a more robust appearance and durability. About 50% more expense than pony weight but also a lot more wood.  Comes in 8′ and 10′ rail lengths and in 2 rail (3′ high) and 3 rail (4′ high). Corner posts, end posts and line posts.

Jumbo weight rails can be used with standard posts to give a really heavy appearance.

Alaskan yellow cedar

Beginning in 2014 we began building a program around this great wood and since then have established ourselves as the regional source. Somewhat hard to find, stronger than Western Red Cedar, more rot and insect resistant and super tough. The best part is it is about 30% less expensive when compared to Western Red Cedar.

We are currently stocking full rough sawn Appearance grade in 1×4, 1×6, 1×8,2×2, 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, 2×10, 2×12, 4×4, 4×6, 4×8, 4×12, 5×5, 6×6,6×8, 8×8 and 6×12 sizes,

In surfaced material we have 2×2, 5/4 2×4, 2×6, 4×4, 4×6 and 6×6.
