YeahECO^® EHD (Extremely High Density) strand bamboo deck is a solid, high-density engineered lumber. It is made of bamboo strips by a special process of thermal modification (at 392F/200C) and high pressure, which provides YeahECO^® EHD strand bamboo deck with impressive hardness and stability. The performance and weathering properties of YeahECO^® EHD strand bamboo deck are very similar to outdoor-rated exotic hardwoods.
