2 x 8 KDAT Brown Treated Lumber

KDAT Brown Treated Wood features a rich, brown finish that not only looks great, but performs exceptionally well

Kiln Dried After Treatment, or KDAT is a process that removes excess moisture from lumber, minimizing the natural characteristics of wood to shrink, cup and warp. KDAT minimizes shrinkage and promotes stability in the system. Kiln drying decreases the finished weight of the system 30% – 40% as compared to leaving it wet.
