Rough Con Heart Redwood 1" x 8" x 8'

Actual: 3/4" x 7-1/2" x 8'

Rough Con Heart Redwood is a construction-grade lumber cut from the heartwood of the redwood tree, left in its natural rough-sawn state. The Con Heart grade allows larger knots and imperfections compared to B or Clear grades, while still providing the natural resistance to decay and insects that heartwood is valued for. Because it retains its rough surface, this lumber is often used where a rustic appearance or additional thickness is desired.

With its combination of strength, durability, and character, Rough Con Heart Redwood is commonly used for fencing, landscaping, garden structures, and other exterior applications where a natural, unfinished texture is preferred. It provides long-lasting performance while offering a more traditional look than surfaced lumber.

Lumber Grades and Definitions

A reference guide to the common grades and surfacing designations for this type of lumber.

• Rough: Refers to lumber left in its rough-sawn state rather than surfaced smooth. Rough lumber retains its natural texture and full dimensions, often preferred for rustic applications or where extra thickness is required.
• Con Heart: Stands for “Construction Heart.” A grade of redwood cut from the heartwood portion of the tree. Allows larger knots and imperfections compared to higher appearance grades while maintaining the natural durability of heartwood.
• Redwood: The species of wood. Redwood is valued for its natural beauty, ease of workability, and resistance to moisture and insects. It is commonly used in outdoor projects such as decking, siding, fencing, and landscaping structures.
