Assembly Completion Checklist
1.
Check and ensure that no raised grain or splinters are evident on timber components.
Sand down any raised grain or splinters using fine grade sandpaper.
2. Check that all screw, nail and pin heads are properly tapped home and are not proud of
the timber surface.
3.
Check and ensure that no screws, nails or pins protrude through any panel.
4. Check and ensure that all parts are properly secured against reasonable force.
5.
Do not apply decorative wood finish/treatments to wet or damp timber. Please observe
the instructions of the wood finish/treatment manufacturer.
Treatment/care of your Garden Building
Treat with a suitable decorative wood finish immediately. We recommend that all timber
pieces be treated again prior to assembly and again within 3 months of assembly. We
further recommend that all pieces are treated again at least annually or as frequently as the
instructions on the product used recommends. We would suggest that all wall panels be
treated in an upside-down position to allow the finish/treatment to ingress into the tongue
and groove jointing. We would also remind you that you would rarely (if ever) be able to re-
treat the underside of the floor following assembly. We strongly recommend that the
underside of the floor is treated an absolute minimum of twice (not including pre-treatment).
Pressure treated buildings come to you already in a light green colour. Whilst your pressure
treated building will give you an extended life compared to non-pressure treated it is still
beneficial to apply your own choice of good quality long life preservative or stain - although it
is not absolutely necessary. Any area of timber that you cut, nail or screw after the building
arrives to you should be re-treated or stained to ensure an extended life. The light green
colouration can be stained over in your own preferred choice of colour should you wish.
Wood is a natural product and is therefore prone to changes in appearance, including some
warping, movement and splitting, particularly during unusual climatic conditions (long hot or
wet spells of weather). As a natural occurrence this is not covered by a guarantee.
