Compare Materials: Gazebos

We believe you should never sacrifice quality in the material that your gazebo is made from, but you should certainly have the freedom to express yourself through the material that you choose. You can rest easy knowing that no matter what choice you make, you will be able to enjoy it for decades to come.

Red Cedar

Exceptional Durability: Our red cedar lumber is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Stunning Aesthetics: The rich, reddish-brown color and elegant straight grain add a touch of natural beauty to any space.

Pleasant Scent: Experience the unique aromatic qualities of red cedar, which not only smell wonderful but also repel moths and pests.

Eco-friendly Choice: By choosing our red cedar lumber products, you're supporting sustainable forestry practices and making an environmentally friendly decision.

Aesthetic Appeal: Natural checking in wood adds unique, rustic character and actually increases the strength of wooden structures and furniture.

Treated Pine

Enhanced Durability: Treated pine lumber is chemically treated to resist decay, rot, and insect damage, making it highly durable for outdoor use.

Sustainable Choice: Red cedar is often sourced from sustainably managed forests, making it an environmentally friendly building material.

Aging Gracefully: Over time, red cedar weathers to a beautiful silvery-gray patina, adding to its rustic charm and aesthetic appeal.

Lumber Checking Explained

"Checking" refers to the cracks or splits that occur when lumber dries. Despite its initial appearance as a flaw, checking is actually quite beneficial in many ways.

Structural Integrity: Checks reveal how the wood has dried and adjusted, indicating that the lumber has settled into its natural state, making it less likely to warp further. This is particularly useful for projects requiring stable and durable wood.

Release Tension: Checking often begins on the exterior surface of lumber and gradually moves inward. As the outer layers dry and shrink – eventually allowing the process to reach the inner layers as well – it causes the lumber to shift and crack. In fact, because it releases the tension that has built up, checking actually makes the wood stronger.

Moisture Reduction: When wood checks, it releases internal moisture. This process makes the lumber more suitable for construction because lower moisture content reduces the risk of mold and decay.

Indicator of Drying Process: Checks show that the wood is adapting to its environment. They also signify progress when seasoning lumber and preparing it for long-term use. We want our lumber to last for many years, so checking is a great sign that it will.

Enhanced Rustic Aesthetic: For many projects checking adds a unique, aged aesthetic to the material which is highly desired. This natural appearance is prized in rustic or farmhouse-style designs because it shows that the wood is 100% real and has aged correctly.

Ultimately, checks are not a drawback — they are a natural feature of wood that should be appreciated and provide peace of mind as the lumber settles into maturity and lasting stability.

NOTE: While checking can occur in KDAT lumber such as Red Cedar and Treated Pine, it is far less common and less pronounced than in Rustic (Rough Cut) wood, and might not appear at all. Rough Cut lumber will almost certainly have deep, abundant checking.

Incredibly fast shipping; very easy assembly (it took longer to find a socket wrench than it did to put the table and 4 benches together)! Would definitely purchase from the Cedar Store again
