What's Cedar Timber?

Known for its fragrant and esthetically-pleasing colors, cedar is one of the most beneficial types of wood available today. Manufacturers use Western Red, Northern White, and other types of cedar to create timber. Timber describes the beams and planks builders use to create structures, including wood fences. 

Cedar comes with an array of benefits, including the ability to resist or withstand harsh weather, insects, and decay. Cedar timber is also extremely resistant to warping and bending. Warped or bent timber can lose its strength and integrity over time. If your animals tend to push or rub against their current enclosures, cedar timber may be the ideal material for your new fence.

If you think cedar timber is the ideal wood for your animals' fence, buy your wood today.   

Where Do You Find Your Cedar Timber?

First, contact an agricultural equipment and supply contractor or timber supplier and request a list of their cedar timber products. Some contractors keep timber guides on their websites. The guides contain facts about cedar timber, including how to cut, install, and stain it. You can also use the guide to choose the type of cedar timber you need for your fence. 

After you find the timber you need for your animals' fence, contact a supplier for further assistance. A supplier can help you choose the number of planks or beams you need to construct your fence. You may want to take measurements of the area you plan to install your fence. Some homeowners and farmers survey their land prior to installing fencing on it. Surveying allows you to determine where to install your fence and how.

A timber supplier will ship or deliver the wood to your home after you complete your purchase. You may want to store your wood inside a barn or a shed until you build your fence. A contractor can go over the best places to keep your timber until you're ready to use it.
