TIMBER
As with all natural materials, timber can be a ected during various weather conditions. For
the duration of heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wood panels may occur.
Warping of the wood may also occur during excessive dry spells due to an interior
moisture loss. Unfortunately, these processes cannot be avoided but can be helped. It is
suggested that the outdoor building is sprayed with water during extended periods of
warm sunshine and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow.
Our buildings are delivered pre-treated with a water based timber treatment however this
only helps to protect during transit of your garden item. To validate your guarantee and
for better protection against weathering it is highly recommended that you treat the
garden building with a wood preserver within 3 months of assembly. This will need to be
re-applied annually to ensure longevity of your building. Care must be taken when
constructing the garden building that it is not touching the ground and is on a suitable
base.
BUILDING A BASE
When thinking about where the building and base is going to be constructed: Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and
annual treatment.
TYPES OF BASE
- Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.
- Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
Ensure the base is level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to diagrams for the base dimensions, The base should be slightly
smaller than the external measurement of the building, i.e. the cladding should overlap the base, creating a run o for water. It is also recommended
that the oor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid ooding.
