About Our Wood
Solowave Design™ uses only premium playset lumber, ensuring the safest product for your children’s use. Although great care has been
taken in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is a product of nature and susceptible to weathering (changes in the aesthetics
of the wood). A light sanding may be required to remove minor splinters. For your information, we have described some changes that
may occur as a result of weathering:
1.
Checking
Checks are surface cracks in the wood along the grain. 4” x 4” material will experience more checking than 2”, 1-1/4” or 1”
material be cause the surface and interior moisture content will vary more widely than in thinner wood.
2.
Warping
Warping refers to any distortion (twisting, cupping) from the true plane that may take place during weathering.
3.
Fading
Wood exposed to sunlight, will over time, turn a grey color.
Note: The above changes will not affect the strength of the product.
What causes weathering?
One of the main reasons for weathering is the effects of water (moisture); the moisture content of the wood at the surface is different than the
interior of the wood. As the moisture moves in or out of the wood (result of climate changes), the different moisture content causes tension
in the wood, which can result in checking and or warping.
How can I reduce the amount of weathering to my Play System?
At the factory we have added water repellent to the stain. This water repellent decreases the amount of water absorption during rain or snow
thus decreasing the tension in the wood. Sunlight will break down the water repellent, applying a water repellent or stain on a yearly basis is
important maintenance. (see your local stain and paint supplier for a recommended product) Also if storing the product before installation,
make sure you store out of direct sunlight in a cool dry place.
Will weathering affect the strength of my Play System?
Most weathering is just the normal result of nature and will not affect safe play and enjoyment for your child. However if you are concerned
that a part has experienced a severe weathering problem please call our consumer relations department for further assistance.
