Project Description
2×6 Redwood Decking: The Bay Area’s Widest Selection
This is what we’re known for. 2×6 redwood decking is our bread and butter, the product our reputation was built on over 46 years in the business. The Lumber Baron offers the widest selection, highest quality, and lowest prices for all-heart redwood deck boards in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We’re the only yard that lets you choose from five grades of premium All Heart redwood decking material, which means zero sapwood. Every board is heartwood, not the white-colored wood that rots out and falls apart. You’re buying redwood for a reason, right?
Stock, Lengths, and Availability
We regularly stock 2-foot increments from 8 feet to 20 feet across all five of our 2×6 redwood decking grades. Need set lengths for a 16-foot deck? Most lumber yards force you to buy redwood lumber for decking in random lengths. We sell you exactly what you need.
Planning a 20-foot-wide deck and want it to look clean with no seams? Because we specialize in 2×6 redwood decking lumber, we carry the long lengths other yards don’t stock. With 28 stocked items across 5 different grades, you’ll find the right redwood deck material for any project at our Richmond yard.
Why Redwood Decking Outperforms the Alternatives
The appeal of redwood as a building material goes beyond its strength and natural beauty. Redwood is remarkably resistant to decay and pests thanks to the natural tannin in the heartwood, which is also what creates its distinctive color. Here’s what makes our redwood decking material the right choice for your next project:
- Natural rot and pest resistance without chemical treatment
- Dimensional stability that resists warping, cupping, and splitting
- Rich color that weathers to a beautiful silver-gray or can be maintained with a finish
- Workability that makes it easy to cut, fasten, and finish on site
- Sustainability from responsibly managed forests
All of our redwood lumber is environmentally friendly. We only sell sustainably harvested new growth redwood or reclaimed old growth redwood.
Sustainable and Green by Nature
When it comes to environmental performance, natural wood outperforms synthetic products across the board. Of all building products, the lumber we sell has some of the lowest impacts on air and water quality. Its production generates far fewer toxins and greenhouse gases compared to composites and cement. While other building materials create greenhouse gases, our redwood deck boards actually remove them from the atmosphere.
Unlike brick, cement, and composite decking, our lumber is renewable and biodegradable. We source our Western Red Cedar, mahogany, and redwood from the most sustainably managed forests in the world. Wood is the only major building material that’s truly renewable, and lumber producers have been replacing harvested trees so diligently that North American forests have actually grown by 20% since 1970.
Wood is also incredibly durable in the right conditions. Several wooden structures around the world have lasted over a thousand years. A major part of our business is selling incredible lumber from deconstructed buildings. The ultimate in reducing material consumption, our reclaimed lumber is rich in history and character.

The Lumber Baron Difference
With 46 years of buying experience, we know redwood better than anyone in the Bay Area. We hand-select our inventory, maintain the deepest stock of all-heart redwood deck boards you’ll find anywhere, and give you the flexibility to buy exactly the lengths and grades your project calls for. No random lengths, no sapwood mixed in, no settling for what’s left on the rack.
