I just use cheap 1x6x8 pine (have to select best boards) from Lowe’s and maybe one 1x8x8 depending on style of house for roof. I think Lowe’s has cedar but it very expensive? I don’t use pressure treated cause I paint seal and roof my houses with old shingles. Usually last 10 years or more, but I refurbish them after every season.
