This AC2® CedarTone Premium picket is truly a premium product. It has all the benefits of AC2® brand pressure treated and more! With a rich color, similar to Coastal/Western Red Cedar, it provides pleasing aesthetic performance for the first two years following completion of the outdoor project. After several weeks of outdoor exposure, the product will change to a lighter, more natural color. AC2® CedarTone Premium treated wood products will maintain this cedar-like color when natural cedar wood has faded to a gray color. In addition, it is treated with a higher level of preservative and a factory-applied water repellent to ensure your project will last longer.
