WOOD ADVICE
Our products are manufactured from premium timber. Great care is taking in selecting, machining and
treating the timber before it is sold to you.
1. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in dry periods causing
splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe environment. Treating your
product with protection (sealant) after sanding will help prevent severe checking/splitting and other
weather damage.
2. We have applied a waterborne translucent stain to your unit. This is done for colour only. Once or
twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of protection
(sealant) to
the wood of your unit. Prior to the application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough” spots
on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.
Bear in mind that timber is a natural product and may experience changes throughout the course of its life.
It may:
•
Develop openings/checks (gaps, slits, apertures, cracks) along the line of the grain.
•
Fade as the timber reacts with sunlight.
Timber openings/checks occur due to the moisture content between internal and outer surfaces of the
timber. No two pieces of wood are exactly alike. Each piece has its own characteristics and personality and
reacts differently to climate changes. When any wood product is exposed to the elements, it develops
'wood checks'. A check is the radial separation of the wood fibres running with the grain of the wood. These
are caused by the varying temperature and moisture conditions. A check does not affect the strength or
durability of the wood or structural integrity of the play set.
5 CLEANING
Do not use any abrasive cleansers for the cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to eliminate dirt and dust.
