BarrierBoss Fencing & Gates Optimized with KDAT Lumber
BarrierBoss is committed to providing fencing and gate solutions that are not only durable and stylish but also simple to install and maintain. A key part of this commitment has been switching to KDAT (Kiln Dried After Treatment) lumber for several of our framed products. This specialized wood offers unmatched stability, reduces warping, and allows immediate finishing—perfect for a wide range of applications.
What Makes KDAT Lumber Ideal for Fencing and Gates?
KDAT lumber is pressure-treated wood that is kiln-dried after treatment. The kiln-drying process removes excess moisture and chemicals, dramatically reducing natural wood issues such as cupping, warping, and shrinking. For fencing and gates, this means panels and posts are dimensionally stable, easy to handle, and ready to install immediately after delivery.
