Pine/Cedar

[Dom]

I am going to be doing a project and was wondering what boards to use.turning a sun room into sitting room.this has a concrete foor what do you all think is better to use the only heat source will be a pellet stove.

Your pockets must be deep! I built a 6' long by 2' deep outdoor prep table that stands 40" to the top and the raw material cost was $350. I couldn't imagine lining a whole room with cedar. If the money isn't a concern the cedar does look much nicer once sealed with all the purple/red/white grains. Unless the pine is old growth you won't get the same effect. The other thing with the pine is you can always put a light stain on it to make it less yellow. Hope I gave ya enough help to make it harder on a decision

Agree with kot....cedar would be really nice but pretty expensive. They make a tounge and groove pine board that would make a good alternative
