Fence Posts
Western Red Cedar posts are available in Clear and Knotty product standards. Clear posts have a limited number of natural characteristics and should be specified when you want fence posts of the finest appearance. For a more casual, rustic fence, specify Knotty posts. The different surface textures of the wood are summarized following:

Saw Textured The saw textured surface, obtained during the milling process which uses either circular or band saws, is present on all four sides.
Rougher Headed The lumber receives its texture from a milling process which uses roughened planer knives. The rough texture is clearly visible on all four sides.
Surfaced Four Sides (S4S) The smooth surface on all four sides presents a uniformly sized product with a high quality appearance.
