What is Gray KDAT? | Adam Our CEO and Founder Explains


What is KDAT?

KDAT is an acronym for Kiln Dried After Treatment. Wood that has gone through the KDAT process doesn’t warp like traditional “wet” wood products you might find at your local hardware store. This means your deck will remain level and won’t get wavy over time. Green Shield only uses KDAT deck framing materials so you know your deck will keep looking its best for years to come.

Green Shield Pays Attention to Deck Framing Details

All of the lumber used in your Green Shield deck frame will be checked multiple times before it arrives at your job site. Our manufacturer is held to strict standards for #1 Grade Southern Yellow Pine. After they deliver the KDAT to our facility Green Shield deck experts check the wood again to make sure only the best goes out to job sites. Once on the job sites, our builders check the wood a final time to prevent any sub-par pieces from being used on your deck project.


Lumber is carefully sorted at the manufacturer before treatment.
