Cedar vs other woods (Louisiana quick take)

Cedar vs treated pine: Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects and tends to stay more stable through Louisiana humidity swings. Treated pine can cost less up front, but it may need more frequent sealing/staining and can be more prone to warping and checking over time.

Popular upgrades

  • Stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners for better corrosion resistance
  • Concrete-set posts and (where needed) steel posts for extra strength and straighter lines
  • Post caps for a finished look and added moisture protection
  • Sealing or staining to slow graying and reduce moisture absorption
  • Kickboards/rot boards to protect the bottom edge in wet areas
