TIMBER

As with all natural materials, timber can be affected 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 coated with a water based high quality colorant; this only 

helps to protect the product during transit and for up to 3 months against 

mould. To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is 

ESSENTIAL the building is treated with a wood preserver within the first three 

months of assembly and thereafter in accordance with the manufactures 

recommendations. Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed on a 

suitable base

BUILDING A BASE/SAFE PLAY ADVICE

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 and safe play.

This activity centre should be situated at least 2M away from any structures or 

obstructions (for example fences, buildings and trees etc.), and should be 

orientated so that the ladders are not facing direct sunlight. 

If the ground is too hard and stakes do not secure the building we recommend 

concreting the stakes into the ground.

Whilst all products manufactured  are made to the highest standards of Safety and in the case of childrens products 

independently tested to EN71 level, we cannot accept responsibility for your safety whilst erecting or using this product.
