Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, insects, and decay, making it a reliable choice for outdoor fence posts. These 4x4x8 posts are S4S (Surfaced on Four Sides), offering a smooth finish on all faces and edges for easy handling and clean lines in your fence design. As a Quality grade, this is the most affordable option, with visible knots, wane, and other natural imperfections more commonly present than in higher grades. It’s a solid choice for utility fencing or jobs where appearance is less critical.

Quality Grade Western Red Cedar Fence Posts deliver cost-effective structural support for fences and outdoor projects.
Each post measures approximately 3 ¾″ × 3 ¾″ and 8 feet in length, with a smooth-planed S4S finish.
Ideal for agricultural fences, functional perimeters, or any installation where budget takes priority over aesthetics.

What does S4S mean for cedar fence posts?

S4S stands for Surfaced on Four Sides, meaning the post is planed smooth on all faces and edges. This gives it a clean, uniform appearance and makes it easier to work with.

What are the actual dimensions of these 4x4 cedar posts?

The actual size is approximately 3 ¾ inches by 3 ¾ inches, which is standard for surfaced cedar lumber.

What does Quality grade mean for cedar posts?

Quality grade is the entry-level visual grade. These posts may have more knots, wane, or blemishes than Standard or Premium, but they’re still structurally sound and rot-resistant.

Do these posts need to be treated or sealed?

No treatment is necessary due to cedar’s natural resistance to rot and insects. However, applying a sealant can help maintain color and reduce weathering over time.

Are these posts strong enough for gates or load-bearing sections?

Yes, even at Quality grade, these posts are structurally capable for most residential fences. For heavy-duty gates or decorative builds, consider upgrading to Standard or Premium grade for better consistency and appearance.
