Description
6x6 Engineered Western Red Cedar Column – Surfaced Four Sides (S4S)
Our 6x6 Engineered Western Red Cedar S4S Column combines structural integrity with the natural beauty of cedar. Surfaced on all four sides, it offers a clean, uniform appearance with square edges—ideal for both interior and exterior applications where aesthetics and strength are paramount.
These columns are engineered using finger-jointed Western Red Cedar, providing enhanced stability and resistance to warping, twisting, and splitting. The kiln-drying process further ensures dimensional consistency, making them suitable for a variety of climates, including coastal environments when properly treated and installed with corrosion-resistant hardware.
Applications: Perfect for use as porch posts, pergolas, gazebos, and other structural or decorative elements in residential or commercial projects.
Size Note and Load Capacity: The actual finished dimensions of a 6x6 column are 5 7/16" x 5 7/16", with a manufacturing tolerance of ±1/16". Available in lengths of 6', 8', 9', 10', and 12'. These columns are structurally certified to support allowable eccentric loads of up to 11,877 lbs (10') and 9,713 lbs (12') at 19% moisture content.
