General storage, installation and maintenance requirements for
Products
Storage of Products and packaging prior to installation. The Buyer is required to store a Product
after its receipt in such a manner as to ensure that the Product and its packaging remain intact. The
Product and its packaging should be stored in a dry place, avoiding direct contact with the ground and
providing protection from the weather (including direct sunlight and humidity), and avoiding storage of
the Product in a heated room. Pack needs to be opened shortly prior to assembly to avoid details getting
dirty and deformed. For the same reasons it is needed to avoid wet and hot (>30°C / 86°F) days for
assembly.
Assembly and installation.
➢
Assemble the product on the smooth surface at least 2m from any construction or barrier such as
fence, garage, house, above situated tree branches, clotheslines and electric cables.
➢
Since the foundation joists are in constant contact with the ground, they must be treated with a
special wood preservative. Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood
and follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
Protection from the weather.
Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather
conditions. Large and small cracks, colour tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure
of wood are not errors, but a result of wood growing and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material.
To enjoy our Products for a long time the Buyer will need to protect the wooden products against weather
effects, wood-destroying fungi and insects. Wooden products shall not be used and installed under
extreme weather and nature conditions (too hot, too wet, very high humidity, strong winds and
hurricanes, heavy snow areas, termites, etc) or the Buyer is responsible to take appropriate action to
prevent any damages and still to recognise any harm which may be caused by these extreme conditions.
If there is any hazard of harm by termites, the Buyer should consult a local authorities and specialist to
avoid this.
Unprocessed wood becomes greyish after having been left untouched for a while, and can turn blue and
become mouldy. Therefor to protect the Product the Buyer either has to paint the Product with
appropriate paint immediately after installation or to protect the Product with any other appropriate wood
preservative or protection method (unless the painting or pressure treatment has been done by the
Producer or Seller). This demand applies also for “dipped” houses where Producer or Seller has made
the primary treatment.
Attention! The product is supplied without elaborative workmanship. To reduce fire hazard,
you should use paints or impregnation substances that prevent fire from
spreading! Use water-based paints and impregnation substances and avoid
solvent-based products!
Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow
the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
