Wood Posts : Hand Split

    Split Western Red Cedar posts have a wonderful country feel to its appearance and are unique in their craftsmanship and the aesthetically pleasing way they curve in and around knots. These Red Cedar posts are both beautiful and durable which make them a great choice for use as an untreated post. The durability comes without chemical preservatives since the heartwood of Red Cedar has its own resins, tannins and oils that make it highly resistant to rot, insects, and decay-causing fungus. It is important to note that all studies of durability focus on heartwood. In general, sapwood, regardless of species, has a low resistance to decay.

    They are carefully manufactured and tighly graded for size, strength and appearance. Left untreated the Cedar posts will turn a light silver-gray; however a stain or clear sealer may be applied to keep the beautiful Cedar color. There are are 3 standard lengths and the standard girth is 18" (nominal 4"x5" size). There is limited availability of jumbo size posts (nominal 5"x6" size). You can also match the blank posts with standard size rails that are blanks (no tenoned or "scarfed" ends):
