Lodgepole Pine, Engelmann Spruce, and Western Red Cedar.*

*Please note that if you want your home to be cedar, it will be necessary to purchase it at least six to eight months in advance. Cedar is highly prized for its beauty and is known for being more impervious to rot and insects. However, it takes a substantial amount of time to obtain cedar and air-dry it to our standards.
