Reclaimed Wood: An Ideal Cedar Siding Alternative

Cedar is known for its versatility and serving purposes ranging from sturdy exterior siding to elegant interior paneling. Similarly, reclaimed wood from Centennial Woods can be used for a wide variety of applications.

Whether you’re trying to elevate your home’s exterior or add character to the interior, our reclaimed wood is a versatile choice and matches cedar in its range of possibilities. It's carefully sourced from retired Wyoming snow fences, ensuring it’s safe to use without exposure to toxins or chemicals.

While cedar is biodegradable and relatively energy-efficient to produce compared to other wood products, our reclaimed wood takes sustainability a step further. Sourced from Wyoming snow fences, our reclaimed wood is carbon-negative.

By repurposing this wood, we prevent carbon emissions that would result from events such as decay or burning. This approach also eliminates the need for energy-intensive kiln drying, making it a greener choice for environmentally conscious builders, designers, and homeowners.

Cedar’s natural ability to repel insects is well-known, but reclaimed wood from Centennial Woods offers a different advantage.

Thanks to its low moisture content, our reclaimed wood is naturally uninviting to pests. This ensures long-lasting durability without the need for chemical treatments or regular maintenance against wood-inhabiting insects.

If you appreciate the aged charm of cedar but don’t want to wait for natural weathering, our reclaimed wood offers an immediate solution.

Each piece of Centennial Woods’ reclaimed wood is naturally weathered and ready to install to add instant character to any space. Our wood, sourced from Wyoming snow fences that we build and maintain, has endured years of harsh Rocky Mountain winters, resulting in a distinct look that tells a story.

While cedar is undoubtedly beautiful, its uniformity often lacks the character that can be found in our reclaimed wood. Every plank from Centennial Woods is a unique piece with its own history.

We source our wood exclusively from an extensive network of Wyoming snow fences that we build and maintain in partnership with state and local transportation officials. When you choose products from Centennial Woods, you’re using reclaimed wood that’s spent up to 10 years in the Rocky Mountains keeping roads safe for travelers. Each plank carries stories from this previous life and this inherent character adds depth and authenticity to any architectural or home design project.

Unlike cedar, which can vary in appearance over time and between orders, Centennial Woods offers consistency in both quality and appearance.

Our nearly limitless supply of reclaimed wood from a single source ensures that your project will maintain a uniform aesthetic throughout.

Additionally, our Centennial Seal preserves the color and integrity of our wood, protecting it from things like mold and water damage. This helps ensure its retained beauty over years of exposure to the elements.

Cedar’s natural beauty requires regular maintenance, including sealing and staining to preserve its natural appearance over time. In contrast, our reclaimed wood from Centennial Woods is a low-maintenance option.

Its weather resistance and durability mean you can enjoy its natural beauty without the hassle of frequent upkeep such as resealing or recoloring. Whether its used indoors or outdoors, our reclaimed wood is designed to withstand the elements while keeping its charm and integrity.

Choosing reclaimed wood isn’t just a matter of aesthetics – it’s a commitment to sustainability.

By repurposing wood from Wyoming snow fences, Centennial Woods avoids the environmental impact of logging and reduces waste. Our products are crafted with a dedication to preserving natural resources, guaranteeing that each installation contributes to a greener and more sustainable future.
