More and more people are using redwood rustic siding.

Because rustic siding is more economical than premium redwood grades. Yet it still has the warm, rich look that only comes from redwood.It resists insects and decay. And it ages well, with or without a finish.

Redwood rustic siding is a practical, aesthetic addition to almost any exterior. And we've got plenty of it.

Our Ft. Bragg mill is one of the largest redwood and fir suppliers in the counbry.And with hundreds of distribution centers nationwide, you can order the amount you want and get it quick.

So for redwood, or fiq come to us. We're Georgia-Pacific. And we've got all the rustic siding you need.
