With Western Red Cedar decking, you get so much from a simple, natural product! It’s known for its breathtaking beauty and color as well as its alluring scent. Western Red Cedar boards tend to lie flat and straight, making the product structurally solid and incredibly easy to work with as a decking material. All this while still being surprisingly lightweight and durable. Russin’s custom milling and factory finishing services ensure you get the very best, most functional cedar decking for your project.

Western Red Cedar offers a stunning array of natural colors, from reds to pinks to warm grays and browns. This beautiful variation in color makes cedar one of the most in-demand real wood decking materials available.
Western Red Cedar has an incredible ability to accept finishes and coatings of all types due in part to the absence of resin, making it an incredibly versatile option for your deck. Ask about Russin's finishing services!
Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and moisture...and decay, and insects, and warping. That means that when properly finished and maintained, you can expect years of stability and durability.
For a naturally durable decking material with a beautiful, uniform yellow color, Alaskan Yellow Cedar is a wonderful choice. Like all cedar products, Alaskan Yellow Cedar is easy to work with and takes stain well. Where Alaskan Yellow Cedar really shines is in installation. It’s incredibly stiff with a high bending strength, and holds nails and screws better than many other species of wood. Its inherent durability and density make it ideal for a natural weathering process, transforming to a stunning aged wood appearance while retaining stability and rot resistance. For your next decking project, Alaskan Yellow Cedar can provide the easy-to-work-with beauty you’ve been looking for.

As the name suggests, Alaskan Yellow Cedar has a beautiful yellow hue. But it’s the consistency of color that really stands out. There’s very little visible difference between the heartwood and sapwood, providing uniformity all the way through.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar is one of the most dense species in the Hem-Fir family due to its slow growth rate. The straight, tight grain; fine texture and high bending strength all combine to make this an ideal long-lasting decking material.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar is incredibly versatile when it comes to finish. It readily accepts finishes and coatings of all types due in part to the absence of resin, but it also weathers beautifully without staining. Ask about Russin's finishing services for this versatile material!
