Western Red Cedar is a trusted choice for fencing thanks to its durability, natural beauty, and resistance to insects and decay. These 1x4 pickets are ¾” thick, offering enhanced strength over thinner alternatives, and are dog-eared for a classic, finished look along the top edge. As a Standard grade, these pickets offer a solid balance between affordability and appearance—fewer imperfections than Rustic grade, but with more natural variation than Premium. They’re great for residential privacy fences, accent panels, or decorative projects.
