About Wood Structure Materials
Wood structure materials include the posts, beams, rafters and boards used to build pergolas, pavilions, arbors and porch frames. Wood is valued for its warm look, its strength and how easily crews can cut, notch and adjust it on site. Pressure-treated pine is common for structural parts, while cedar and other species are chosen for appearance. In humid, sunny climates, regular sealing or staining helps wood resist checking, graying and moisture damage.
This page includes Cedar Posts, Beams & Rafters, Douglas Fir Posts, Beams & Rafters, Woodtone AbsolutePost and Woodtone AbsoluteTimber, plus Eastern Wood Fence Arbors & Pergolas. Cedar is chosen for natural color and weather resistance, and Douglas fir for strength and straight grain. Eastern Wood Fence offers ready-made wood arbors and pergolas for buyers who prefer a kit. Wood allows fully custom designs but needs regular sealing or staining. Check local code and the manufacturer's installation guide for sizing and connections.
How to choose
- Which wood species and grade fit the look and budget?
- Will the wood be stained, painted or left to weather?
- How exposed is the structure to rain, sun and termites?
- Would an Eastern Wood Fence arbor or pergola kit save time?
- Do your plans specify sizes and connectors?
- Check lumber availability and lead times for long lengths.
