Hi all,
I'm hoping to leverage the communities knowleged on a project that I want to undertake. I'm in the middle of having a workshop/pool building put in on the propety. the building will have a 24x24' outdoor sitting area under a roof. As part of the ceiling, I want to put some cedar ridge beam and wrapping on the current posts. This would be decorative and non-load bearing wrapping around pressure treated lumber and along the roof area. I have included a picture of what I want to build and is my current inspiration.

Question for the community: The picture I included is cedar. I was wondering what alternatives I should consider other than cedar. It is my understanding that unless I treat/stain the cedar reguarly, it will turn gray. I like the rich/orange color. I suspect there are some composite types that I could get that would not need this maintenance. So I'm all ears for suggestions.
Thanks,
Matt
