Professional Installation Tips

Follow these five simple practices for a stable, long-lasting treated lumber framing installation in Missouri.

1

Choose KDAT for Maximum Stability

Always choose KDAT over wet brown framing. Kiln drying removes up to 80% moisture for a warp-resistant Missouri substructure.

2

Seal All End Cuts Immediately on Site

Apply end-cut preservative to every fresh cut before installation. This maintains full rot protection across all framing members.

3

Use Corrosion-Resistant Fasteners Throughout

Always use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners. Standard steel reacts with MCA treatment, causing rust and fastener failure.

4

Apply Deck Sealer Within Two Weeks

Seal KDAT framing within two weeks of installation. This locks in the brown finish and protects against Missouri's wet seasons.

5

Ensure Proper Substructure Ventilation

Keep joists at least 18 inches off the ground. Good airflow reduces moisture buildup and long-term rot risk beneath Missouri decks.
