Important information
Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To
VALIDATE
the guarantee, the building must be properly
treated with a recognised external wood preserver
WITHIN 3 MONTHS
of assembly and
RE-TREATED ANNUALLY
thereafter.
Adequate provision must be made to ensure ground contact is avoided and air is able to circulate underneath the building. Placing the
building on a concrete pad or slab base is acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit in pooled water during wet conditions.
If the building is to sit on soil or grass it
MUST
be erected on pressure treated wooden 50mm x 50mm or similar bearers
(These are
not supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry
spells the material may lose some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain
there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with
certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or the amount of air passing over the
building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
