Western Red Cedar Shingles for Siding, Sheds & Accent Walls
100% Natural. Untreated. Available Exclusively at Lowe's.
Naturally rot- and insect-resistant, no chemical treatment. Just real cedar, milled in the Pacific Northwest.
Western red cedar shingles are naturally rot- and insect-resistant wood shingles milled from Thuja plicata, a softwood native to the Pacific Northwest. Unlike pressure-treated lumber, western red cedar contains natural oils that protect against decay without chemical treatment. These shingles are sold in #3/#4 undercourse grade, meaning they contain natural character marks including knots and flat grain — making them ideal for siding, accent walls, sheds, and gazebos at a lower cost than premium grades. Each bundle covers approximately 15 square feet at a 7.5-inch weather exposure.

Full exterior siding
"I recently completed a full exterior siding project using the Western Red Cedar Wood Shingles from Lowe's. I loved the coloring and perfect imperfections on this wood. The grain pattern and rich color variations give the house an authentic, high-end craftsman character that vinyl or composite materials simply cannot replicate. These shingles take nails perfectly without splitting easily. They cut cleanly, which made fitting them around windows, corners, and tight gables a breeze. It completely transformed my home and was worth every penny."

Backyard shed siding
"Used these for the siding on a backyard shed. Work great — expect about 10-15% waste per bundle due to knots, splits or odd size. Price was very fair in comparison to the premium shakes used for true houses. Used a 2 inch 18 gauge nail gun, did not have any split or detach from the shed and it's been over a year since install. Highly recommend a sealer or stain as soon as possible following install. Overall very pleased with the final result."

Exterior accent wall
"Used the cedar shingles to make an accent wall for the front of my house. Although I ended up getting two different shades of shingles it still looks amazing. My house is the only one that has the accent wall, so it really stands out."

The Tree of Life
Why Western Red Cedar? Natural Rot Resistance, No Chemical Treatment
Western Red Cedar was the cornerstone of Pacific Northwest Native American culture for thousands of years: shelter, canoes, clothing, medicine, all from one tree. The same qualities that made it indispensable then (natural rot and insect resistance, straight-splitting grain, dimensional stability) are exactly why it still works on a modern jobsite today.
