Lion Cedar is the #1 brand of Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Exclusively distributed by PFP Distribution, Lion Cedar offers the largest inventory of Alaskan Yellow Cedar boards, patterns, and timbers in New England and New York. Lion Cedar combines the durability of hardwoods with the workability of softwoods and unmatched availability so you can finish the job with results that roar.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar is a durable, insect-resistant, and long-lasting wood species, outperforming alternative cedar products. Cuts clean and holds tight for smooth installs.
No need for chemical treatments and requires less finishing maintenance over its life. With its low tannins, it naturally prevents bleed through and resists decay.
Lion Cedar’s wood products weather to a soft silver patina overtime if left untreated. With proven performance in every climate, it’s wood that earns its place over time.
Grown on the Pacific Coast, Lion Cedar is denser, stays straighter, resists shelling, and offers predictability.
Western Red Cedar is another alternative for exotic woods. What most professionals don’t realize is Alaskan Yellow Cedar outperforms in quality and availability compared to Western Red Cedar.
