About Our Wood
Cedar Summit Premium Play Systems uses only premium playset lumber, ensuring the safest product for your children’s
use.
Although we take great care in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is still a product of nature and susceptible to
weathering which can change the appearance of your set.
What causes weathering? Does it affect the strength of my Play System?
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 climate changes, moisture moves in or out of the wood, causing tension which can
result in checking and or warping. You can expect the following due to weathering. These changes will not affect the strength of
the product:
1.
Checking
is surface cracks in the wood along the grain. A post (4” x 4”) will experience more checking than a board (1” x 4”)
because the surface and interior moisture content will vary more widely than in thinner wood.
2.
Warping
results from any distortion (twisting, cupping) from the original plane of the board and often happens from rapid
wetting and drying of the wood.
3.
Fading
happens as a natural change in the wood color as it is exposed to sun-light and will turn a grey over time.
How can I reduce the amount of weathering to my Play System?
At the factory we have coated the wood with a water repellent or stain. This coating decreases the amount of water absorption
during rain or snow thus decreasing the tension in the wood. Sunlight will break down the coating, applying a water repellant or
stain on a yearly basis is important maintenance. (see your local stain and paint supplier for a recommended product)
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.
