Building 90 ft of wooden fence. At the lumber yard the treated pine looks better than the cedar. And its cheaper. Is there reaaly that big a difference in longevity and looks as it ages?

I've had both. Cedar will last longer, IMO, with less curling.
Also, the cedar should be a true 1x6, whereas as the pine will 1x5 1/2.

Cedar

Got about 500' I've been working on. I'm randy for it to be done already. Still have to pick up a dozen more 2x4's and two more bundles of pickets (240 in a bundle)

Cypress first but I see that's not a choice then cedar and a very distant 5 the is pine. It splits cups does not last as long does not look good for any time. Sorry too lazy for commas on iPhone
