YellaWood SuperSelect® KDAT decking is made from hand-selected and regraded C&Btr (C and Better) grade lumber for top-grade strength and appearance.

C&Btr (C and Better)

#1 Prime strength with enhanced clarity. The highest visual grade, C&Btr delivers the clearest surface with the smallest knots and fewest imperfections.

No bark edges
Tight growth rings
Infrequent (if any) pin knots, grain or color variations

Finishing with stains or sealing brings out the natural beauty of the wood.

YellaWood SuperSelect® deck boards are available with radius milled edges for a smoother look and a more finished deck surface.

Radius Milled Edges

Offering a slightly rounded or eased edge, these boards are smoother and designed to distribute stress more evenly. Radius milled edges provide a more comfortable surface and promote drainage between boards. It’s the ideal match for the 5/4 YellaWood® SuperSelect deck board.

YellaWood SuperSelect® MCA treated lumber is kiln dried after treatment, which means the board is dried back to its original moisture content after treatment.

Kiln-Dried After Treatment (KDAT)

KDAT lumber is pressure-treated wood that has been kiln dried after the treatment process to remove excess moisture and bring the boards closer to their final, stable dimensions. This added step helps reduce shrinkage, warping, and movement after installation—making it a strong choice for projects where consistency and appearance matter.

To retain the benefits of KDAT lumber, we recommend you stain or seal it upon installation (no waiting period necessary). Once exposed to moisture, the decking will need to fully dry again (sprinkle test) before product can be applied.

YellaWood SuperSelect® is high-strength 5/4 decking built for greater stiffness and increased holding power. The C&Btr grade provides an enhanced appearance while a dense, consistent fiber structure offers better performance. When enhanced structural strength matters as much as appearance, YellaWood SuperSelect® earns its place at the top of the lineup.

For span, loading and specific structural guidance, consult local building codes and check your end tag for use guidelines.
