My neighbor is getting rid of several cedar 4x4s. They are very weathered but in good shape.
Besides fencing, is there any good use for them?
Thanks.

Slice them up into some 1X material and make an adarondak chair or two. I took down some fencing and helped a friend make a couple of chairs. Both his daughters wanted them, because they were "rustic"....??

Porch roof posts; newel or other posts for exterior balustrades/railings.

I built a nice pergola with cedar posts.

Adirondack chairs it is.
Let the milling begin.

When I first got married, for the first time (1975), I made a couch for our first apartment -- using cedar 4X4's. I had seen a plan in one of the woodworking mags.
Basically, it was a frame of 4X4's, very specifically placed, so that when you wrapped it with rope, the seat had a gentle slope, as did the back.
And once the rope was laced and tightened, some throw-pillows were all that were needed.
We gave it away some years later, when finances allowed the purchase of something less rustic-looking.
