Important
Information about your product
Wood is one of the world's most beautiful, versatile and natural
products. It is the most natural "green" material there is and
unlike steel, concrete or PVC it is "friendly and warm" both to
the manufacturer and end user.
As with all natural timber products they will be subject to
movement and deterioration as they season. This may become
evident with shakes, splits and warping. Timber is a natural
product and these are not considered to be a fault or defect.
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE AGAINST ANY OF THESE NATURAL
OCCURANCES
Care of your product
Timber, Soft wood in particular will rot and this
process will be speeded up if the timber is left untreated or if
the top treatment is not carried out adequately.
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE AGAINST THIS NATURAL OCCURANCE
Please note that all of our Softwood timber products,
which are not tanalised treated,
will be treated with a BASE coat of preservative only (hardwoods
will be supplied untreated). They will then require further
treatment by yourselves.
We recommend that you then treat your gates annually to keep
them looking food for years to come.
Tanalising - this is pressure impregnated powerful water based
wood preservative treatment system. It has a pale green colour
that eventually fades to a grey colour. Because the process does
not seal the timber, splits and cracks may appear.
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE AGAINST THIS NATURAL OCCURANCE
Please note that this is why we only use this treatment
for our fencing products and 5 Bar gates. It cannot be used for
finish quality products.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE LIFE SPAN OF
TANALISED TREATED TIMBER
Steel Posts - We use these instead of timber posts to
hang our doors and some gates from because unlike timber they
will not warp or twist causing problems with the fitting of the
gates in the future. Steel posts will be supplied with one coat
of black Hammerite. Please note that further coats may be
required after installation.
Finally...
A product manufactured from wood can be one of the most "green"
and pleasant items we own and deserves to be looked after with
care to give lasting satisfaction.
