Wood is a material that remains natural.
Wood is a natural material; it can have imperfections. A number of them are normal and superficial. They are excluded from the warranty because they do not affect the strength and durability of your pool.
Cracks, splits and tears
Wood is subject to dimensional variations depending on humidity and temperature. When it dries, it retracts irregularly, causing cracks to appear. These can be impressive, but they do not affect the mechanical
characteristics and strength of the product.
Resin upwelling
During the autoclave treatment of resinous species, the alternation of vacuum and pressure can lead to sticky resin residues on the surface of the wood. To remove them, simply scratch them gently with a suitable
tool.
Colour differences
All wood species have variations in colour. Exposure of wood to UV rays will significantly attenuate them.
Presence of knots
The knots correspond to the trace of the branches of the tree. Our woods are selected to limit the quantity and size as much as possible.
Retention of oven products
Autoclave treated wood often shows greenish or whitish traces on the surface that disappear over time.
Surface mould
Woods are prone to mould caused by microscopic fungi. This surface phenomenon, reinforced by heat, humidity and lack of ventilation, is characterised by spots ranging from light blue to black blue. A simple
wiping or exposure of the wood to the outside makes it easy to remove them. It should be remembered that treated woods in class 4 are of course protected against fungal attack.
Additional processing
No additional treatment or application of a wood preservative for your Ubbink® pool is required. When exposed to UV rays, the wood will turn grey over time without affecting its durability. However, you can
apply a microporous stain compatible with the autoclave treatment to preserve its original colour if you wish.
Storage and assembly of your pool
If you do not wish to install your pool immediately, it is necessary to store your package properly, without unpacking it, in a cool and well-ventilated place, or failing that, protected from the elements and the
sun. If, however, you are forced to unpack your pool, it would be imperative to recondition the package, flat beams, and restrap it firmly. Once unpacked, the structure must be assembled within 48/72 hours.

The wooden structure:
UNDER WARRANTY NOT UNDER WARRANTY
- 15-year warranty against rot and attack by wood-boring insects (from the date of purchase by the
consumer) when installed on a smooth, level concrete slab
- Changes in wood colour due to climatic effects
- Natural deformations (cracks, splits, and knots that do not affect the mechanical resistance of the
wood in any way)
- Imperfections that do not affect the solidity of the structure: resin build-up, difference in colour of the
beams, retention of proofer products giving the wood a greenish appearance and grey/black surface
mould resulting from a lack of ventilation of the packaged structure
- Assembly or storage defects resulting in deformation of the wall slats (assembly carried out long after
opening the package without restrapping)
- Deformation of the beams caused by water pressure, which does not alter the mechanical resistance
of the pool in any way
- Deformation of the structure resulting from non-compliant slab assembly
- Deterioration of the structure resulting from semi-underground or non-compliant underground
installation (waterproofing sheet and gravel backfill mandatory)
- Structural degradation resulting from treatment of the wood with aquaphobic products that do not
allow the wood to breathe: tar, varnish, glaze....
- Breaks or missing tabs of less than 30 cm that do not affect the mechanical resistance of the pool
- Slight deformations that do not prevent the interlocking of the beams
