Important information

Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To VALIDATE the guarantee, the building must be
properly treated with a recognised external wood preserver WITHIN 3 MONTHS of assembly and RE-TREATED ANNUALLY
thereafter.The building must also be erected on 50mm x 50mm treated wooden or similar bearers (These are not supplied with the kit.)
ground contact must be avoided.

Timber Information.

As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry
spells the material may lose some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive
rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems
with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or the amount of air passing
over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
