$2.50
Price Per Linear Foot, please enter total linear feet needed
Cypress #2 Grade lumber offers a practical and budget-friendly choice for projects where strength and natural durability matter more than a flawless appearance. This grade features more visible knots and natural character, giving the wood a rustic, authentic look while still retaining Cypress’s well-known resistance to moisture, decay, and insects. Thanks to the natural oils found in the heartwood, Cypress performs well in exterior conditions without chemical treatment. Ideal for siding, fencing, trim, outdoor structures, and general construction, #2 Grade Cypress provides reliable performance and long-term value for residential and light commercial applications.

Installation / Acclimation
"Proper acclimation and installation are key to ensuring Cypress #2 lumber remains stable, durable, and visually appealing over time.
**Acclimation Before Installation**
Allow boards to adjust to the local environment for **7–14 days** to reach a balanced moisture content before installation. Stack boards off the ground and use spacers between layers to allow airflow around each piece.
**Storage & Handling**
Keep lumber elevated and covered to protect it from rain or direct sunlight while still allowing ventilation. Avoid placing boards directly on soil, concrete, or other surfaces that could affect moisture levels.
**Installation Tips**
Ensure proper airflow and drainage beneath the structure to prevent moisture buildup and minimize warping or cupping. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners and follow recommended joist or framing spacing to maintain long-term stability. Seal all cut ends to reduce moisture absorption and help maintain dimensional stability."
Care Instructions
To preserve the durability and appearance of Cypress #2 lumber, regularly remove dirt, leaves, and debris from the surface. For exterior applications, rinse with water or use a mild soap solution as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washing, which can damage the wood. Applying a quality exterior wood oil, stain, or sealant periodically will help protect against moisture absorption, reduce surface checking, and maintain color. Inspect fasteners and structural components regularly, and address any minor cracks, splits, or defects promptly to ensure long-term stability and performance.
