Why should I choose western red cedar over pressure treated southern yellow pine?
Western red cedar is not a sap wood and therefore a much more dimensionally stable solution than southern yellow pine. It tends to be a little pricier, but it does not warp, crack or twist as easily as pine fence products, and it responds to stains or sealers much more efficiently. If a stain or sealant solution is not chosen for a cedar fence, it will weather to a light silver similar to the color of the bark on trees.
