What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the cedar lumber's natural beauty, rich grain, and exceptional weather resistance for outdoor projects like garden beds and fencing. Most highlight its rot resistance and safety for vegetable gardens as key advantages over treated alternatives. However, many note quality is inconsistent, requiring careful selection to find straight, knot-free pieces; some encounter twisted boards, undersized dimensions, or rough surfaces needing additional work. Despite selection challenges, most customers consider the wood's durability and aesthetic appeal worth the effort, making it a popular choice for long-term outdoor applications.

Product is great but I was shorted a board from my order. I ordered 30 and only received 29.
Great for garden boxes
Easily found 8 2x8s with no/minimal crowning/bowing. Seal-It-Green eco and food safe sealer brought out wonderful color for garden boxes.

Good quality wood
The wood was good quality and got the job done I needed for my project
Undersized cedar 2x4s
I expected the 2x4s to be 1.5 x 3.5. I discovered the wood was undersized after I had made all of my cuts. The 2x4s were approximately 1.33 x 3.4 vs the 1.5 x 3.5 that I was expecting and that was advertised. This definitely made my project challenging as my plans and cut list were designed for 1.5 x 3.5 wood. Additionally, I purchased screws that were the correct size for 1.5 x 3.5 but were too long for the undersized wood.
Always trust Lowe’s quality.
The lumber was true and straight.
CAUTION - Maybe Undersized
Dimensionally does not meet min standard 1.5” Thick x 3.5” Wide as specified. We had 21 delivered which actual measure 1.375” Thick x 3.375” Wide. Unfortunately, did not find this prior to rough cutting most of the boards. Also, many boards are not straight and twisted. Luckily we only needed 6 - 8’ ones straight as the remainder are cut into smaller lengths. Scrap rate much higher then typically expected.
Good fence post
Mostly straight, a few knots
These were a great budget friendly option for us.
Used for our raised beds. Very sturdy, great quality boards
Great for outdoor pergola, minimal warping
I used this for an outdoor pergola using the Toja Grid system. I love the look and feel of the final product (make sure to route the edges and sand down for a smooth touch) and it's already stood up to rain and wind storms just fine. My only note is that toja grid brackets only fit *exactly* 4x4 dressed lumber, so I had to shave off two sizes of each post to get them to fit. It was a fair bit of manual work but then I got a really tight connection and I didn't have to worry about the wood shrin...
Fence material.
Weather resistant post.
