[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 235803, member: 6982"] Home Depot will always have a wood that is native to the area or close by. Our home depot does not carry cedar, or cypress in dimensional lumber. I wish we did have cedar, like back home...it is a great wood for outdoor projects. I had to use yellow pine for my benches. Not ideal but relatively inexpensive and the benches are fairly easy to replace in a few years if need be. Just coat it well with spar urethane. Thickness is not much issue with benches...they used a very thin wood for my valco, originally...I went to an inch for the new ones. I also had to get x12 because it was the widest they sold...this did create a little bit of metal lip showing on the front two benches...not a big deal to me, but if you wanted you could grind it back.
