BarrierBoss Fencing & Gates Optimized with KDBT 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 KDBT (Kiln Dried Before Treatment) lumber for several of our framed products. This specialized wood offers superior stability, minimizes warping, and comes in a beautiful, ready-to-use finish—ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications.
What Makes KDBT Lumber Ideal for Fencing and Gates?
KDBT lumber is pressure-treated wood that is kiln-dried before treatment. This process allows the treatment to penetrate deeper into the wood fibers while preserving their natural structure, reducing issues like cupping, warping, and shrinking. For fencing and gates, this means panels and posts are stable, easier to handle, and come in a finished honey-brown hue that looks great as-is or can be painted or stained if desired.
