A:Â Non treated Cedar. Never took them home. I returned mine after opening in the back of the truck. They both had mega huge knots in them. Grade three or even worse in quality. Rendering them unusable for my taste. Not HD's fault. Its their vendor who thought they had appearance grade lumber...not. Depends on what look your going for. Maybe for a Log Cabin themed interior? Summer camp cabin quality to say the least.

A:Â Hello Mike,
The posts are not pressure-treated.
by|Dec 27, 2021
A: No.  Unless it specifies pressure treated, it’s not.  Western red cedar is naturally repellent to insects and would do well indoors.Â

A:Â Untreated cedar; ok for indoors use. Will require some prep as surface is rough. A good buy that not withstandingÂ

A:Â they are not...cedar is the best non treated rot resistant wood naturally available...
Usually used for outdoor applications for that reason...I used to build a raised garden that would be natural with no wood preservatives.

These were excellent products. Exactly what I was looking for. The posts even had an initial sanding so I only needed to use fine grit to complete. It may not be required for other applications. Picture shows posts installed prior to adding handrails. Note - top lights also purchased from Home Depot.

Finally getting around to work with the Outdoor Essential 4x4 Cedar posts. Beware the Posts certainly are NOT as clear as the picture indicates. I don’t mind the tight knots, but out of the 16 posts I ordered 3 posts are so chewed up on on side as to practically make them unusable. Otherwise , running them through a planer, makes them beautiful. I would order again if the time arises.
