Why would I use shingles instead of shakes? |

Answer |
Shingles are used when a person prefers the slimmer profile and shadow line that shingles provide. Shingles are also considered to have a cleaner or more tailored look than shakes |

Why would I use shakes instead of shingles? |
2007-12-20 16:05:05 |
Answer |
Shakes are used when a person prefers the heavier profile and shadow line that shakes provide. Hand-split shakes are considered to have more of a rustic or looser appearance than shingles, while taper-sawn shakes are very close in appearance to shingles but thicker. |

Why are the pallet-quantity orders only available as a kiln-dried or treated product, but not as a raw or naturally dried product? |
2007-12-20 16:05:32 |
Answer |
Pallet orders are typically delivered to a residence or small business where offloading assistance is required. In order for the truck lift to handle the weight of a standard size pallet, they must be dried to a weight of no more than 2500 lbs. The weight of an average raw pallet of cedar is 3200 lbs. Note: Building materials of this kind in these quantities are heavy. Please make a note of the weight information attached to your order and make sure that the required equipment and personnel are available to you in order to receive your order properly. |

Can purchasing a kiln-dried material save me money on my shipping charges? |
2007-12-20 16:05:55 |
Answer |
Yes. Although there is a minimal up charge for a kiln-dried material, it will, in most cases, more than pay for itself. Total shipping charges are calculated by weight and volume of the shipment. A kiln-dried product can easily drop 600 lbs to 800 lbs of water from an average 10-square pallet of cedar. |
