There are a whole range of redwood grades
that can be used on decks. By carefully choosing the
right grade you can save money and build a beautiful
project. The most economical grade for decking is
Construction Common. With the strength to do the job, it
contains a combination of heartwood and sapwood and will
provide years of service.

For posts,
beams and joists an all-heartwood grade of redwood is
recommended. Construction Heart is the most economical
grade for these applications.
