A Reputation for Strength
Rated strongest among all cedars, Port Orford Cedar (POC) has eanred a reputation for its strength and decay-resistance. This decay resistance is due to naturally occuring oils in the wood. POC has historically been the preferred wood for building boats and Japanese sacred temples. Today POC is ideal for flooring, interior woodwork, furniture, door construction and fence posts (its heartwood has an in-ground life of 20-25 years). POC has even been used to build the stadium seats at the world-famous Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calififornia , park benches at Yosemite National Park and for building America's Cup yachts.
Rough Sawn Timbers
It's simple. Strength, durability and natural decay-resistance
make POC the ideal wood for our Rough Sawn Timbers, where beauty and structural integrity are important in both indoor and outdoor uses.
Liven up An Interior
POC is a lightly colored wood, allowing it to accept stains nicely. And with a fine texture, straight grain, and pleasant sweet-spicy scent, it's an excellent choice for interior woodwork. Our paneling is available in clear or knotty styles, and in a variety of patterns
of either rough or smooth surfaces. It can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, rough or smooth side out, providing plenty of design options.
Perfect for Exteriors
Our Appearance Plus decking made from POC is not only strong, it's safe for children. In addition to chemical-free decay deterrence, its texture remains smooth with no raised grain or slivering, and its durability makes it ideal for use in high-traffic outdoor sites. Using our 16 knife planer, we give this unique decking a gentle smoothness and soft luster.
Most importantly, our POC comes with the C&D Lumber commitment. Our strict written quality standards and specifications show our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer service.
