Western Red Cedar Fence Pickets in Lubbock, Amarillo and Midland
All-State stocks Western Red Cedar fence pickets at all three of our Fence Supply Centers — Lubbock, Amarillo & Canyon, and Midland & Odessa — and sells them to anyone, with no minimum order. They’re the same pickets our installation crews put up: Western Red Cedar cut from Canadian logs from the West Coast and milled in Washington. Every Fence Supply Center stocks the same sizes, listed below.
What size cedar pickets do you carry?
| Picket | Heights | Profiles |
|---|---|---|
| 1" x 3½" Western Red Cedar (our crew standard) | 6' | Dog-ear, gothic point |
| 1" x 4" Western Red Cedar | 6', 7', 8' | Dog-ear, gothic point, flat top |
| 1" x 6" Western Red Cedar | 6', 7', 8' | Dog-ear, flat top |
Every size is stocked at all three Fence Supply Centers. Lumber prices change with almost every rail car, so call or stop by for today’s price; contractor, school, government and volume orders pay less.
Why “1-inch” is ⅝ of an inch. Lumber is named by its rough size and sold at its finished size, so a picket called 1" x 3½" measures ⅝" thick. We print the actual thickness because when two quotes both say “cedar pickets,” the thickness is one of the first places they differ. Measure the boards in any bid you’re comparing.
Is it real cedar?
Yes — Western Red Cedar, Thuja plicata, from the coastal Northwest. A lot of the cheaper “cedar” on the market right now is imported Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria), often sold as import cedar, a different species that sells for roughly half the price and looks close on the day it goes up.
Big-box sale prices on cedar pickets are often short promotions on a lower-grade board, so ask what grade you’re getting before you compare prices. If you’re comparing picket prices or fence bids, read our side-by-side first: Japanese Cedar vs. Real Western Red Cedar →
How many pickets do I need?
For a side-by-side privacy fence with 3½-inch pickets, divide the length in inches by 3.5 and round up. 100 feet is 1,200 inches, which takes about 343 pickets. Board-on-board overlaps the pickets and takes more; a shadowbox or spaced fence takes fewer. Add a few for cuts at gates, corners and where the fence meets the house.
The counter will count it exactly. Bring the length, the height, the style and where the gates go, and you leave with the complete list — pickets, rails, posts, hardware and stain — and a total.
What else goes with the pickets?
- Rails: cedar 2×4 rails, three per section on a 6-foot fence. We don’t sell treated lumber.
- Posts: Schedule 40 steel is the post our crews set, and the counter also sells the lighter .095 and .065 posts. Wall thickness matters most on taller fences and gate posts.
- Gate hardware: wood gate hardware kits from $30.80 (October 2026 price).
- Fasteners: aluminum screw-shank nails, which won’t rust and are the ones we recommend, plus steel ring-shank nails, standard steel nails and steel Phillips screws.
- Stain: Wood Defender, every color displayed on a cedar board at all three Fence Supply Centers; 5-gallon buckets from $183.41 (October 2026 price). See the colors →
Should I stain new cedar pickets?
Yes. Unstained cedar in West Texas sun starts to gray and check within its first season. A penetrating stain-and-seal soaks into the wood, holds the color and slows the drying that splits pickets.
Wait at least three weeks after the fence goes up, so the moisture trapped in the bundle can dry out, and two to three days after a rain. On dry wood, one coat is enough. We don’t sell pre-stained pickets.
Why don’t you sell pre-built panels?
A panel is built square on a flat floor, and almost no yard is level, so a panel fence either racks or steps. Pickets, rails and posts follow the ground. Why we don’t sell panels →
