Redwood Suppliers and Information

I get a lot of questions about redwood and where to buy it. Here is a list of companies that supply redwood lumber. Redwood is an excellent wood for decks, fences, gazebos, and patio because it is strong and naturally resistant to damage from termites and rot. Typically, there are two categories of redwood grades:

• Garden or Construction Grades - ranges from rough with large knots to pretty clean (sometimes called "construction heart" or "con heart redwood")
  
• Architectural Grades - tight or no knots (sometimes called "clear heart redwood")
  

To learn more about redwood grades and uses, start at the California Redwood Association. They have a fairly comprehensive redwood FAQ and an excellent page about available redwood grades.

Redwood Suppliers

• OregonWildWood sells very high quality (furniture quality) redwood.
• Himes&Starr in Carrollton, TX supplies redwood deck materials and some redwood timbers.
• Redwood Lumber & Supply Company in California specializes in redwood.
• Capital Lumber supplies redwood from multiple locations across the west and southwest and also has a redwood MSDS.
  
• R.H. Wilson supplies redwood in the UK.
  
• McGee Lumber in North Carolina supplies redwood lumber.
  

I found this redwood supplier locater on the California Redwood Association's website. They have it covered. I have given them enough links in this post, I should get some kick backs.

Good luck. I hope you find the redwood you are looking for.
