Common Uses for Premium Cedar Timbers in Custom Homes:

Cedar timbers are a premium choice for custom homebuilders looking to elevate curb appeal and architectural detail. They’re commonly used in entryway posts, gable accents, front porches, and decorative trusses beneath roof peaks. With their rich natural grain and structural strength, cedar beams bring a high-end, craftsman or lodge-style look to the front of a home while offering long-term durability and resistance to weather.

In backyard and outdoor living spaces, cedar timbers offer both beauty and function. Builders frequently use them to create pergolas, patio covers, outdoor kitchens, privacy walls, and breezeways. Cedar’s natural resistance to rot and insects makes it ideal for exposed environments, while its ease of cutting and finishing allows for creative, customized designs. It’s a go-to material for turning outdoor spaces into standout features of the home.
