Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
CatchMark Merger	NOTE 17. CATCHMARK MERGER On September 14, 2022, CatchMark and CatchMark Timber Operating Partnership, L.P. (the Partnership) merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Sub) of PotlatchDeltic, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement dated May 29, 2022, with the Merger Sub surviving the mergers. CatchMark owned approximately 348,000 acres of superior site index timberlands located in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. The CatchMark timber and timberlands assets and operations are included in our Timberlands segment within the Southern region. As a result of the merger, we issued approximately 11.5 million shares of PotlatchDeltic common stock, including (i) 11.3 million shares in exchange for the outstanding shares of CatchMark common stock, which included unvested CatchMark share-based awards that fully vested upon closing of the merger and (ii) 0.2 million shares in exchange for the Partnership OP Units. We capitalized transaction costs of $9.3 million for items such as investment banking fees, legal services, and other professional fees directly attributable to the merger. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all the value of the acquisition was concentrated in the acquired timber and timberlands. We allocated the cost of the acquisition to the net assets acquired based on their relative estimated fair value on the acquisition date with the assistance of third-party specialist. This resulted in an allocation of $782.3 million to timber and timberlands, $3.0 million to intangible assets, $32.0 million to other assets and $23.6 million for cash acquired in the merger. Additionally, we assumed $323.1 million of liabilities, including $300.0 million of outstanding long-term debt. Immediately following the merger, we refinanced $277.5 million of the long-term debt assumed in the merger and repaid the remaining $22.5 million with cash on hand. We also entered into $277.5 million of interest rate swaps to fix the interest rates on the refinanced long-term debt. Refer to Note 9: Debt and Note 10: Derivative Instruments for further information. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred non-capitalizable merger costs in connection with the CatchMark merger of approximately $2.5 million, primarily consisting of post-merger fees for professional services. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred non-capitalizable merger costs of $27.3 million in connection with the CatchMark merger, primarily for severance benefits, tax gross-up payments to holders of Partnership OP Units and share-based compensation for the acceleration of CatchMark equity awards that fully vested upon closing of the merger and were allocated to the post-merger period. These costs are included in CatchMark merger related expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
