Caring For Your Structure
Wood Structures (Smart Panel)
• To prevent leaking and premature aging of your shed, we recommend wood structures be
thoroughly prepared before treatment. All joints between wall siding boards, window trim, door trim,
corner boards, soffits, fascias, rake trim, vents, and naturally occurring hairline cracks in knots
must be properly sealed with high quality caulking prior to treatment. We strongly recommend nail
holes in all material types be filled prior to treatment. In order to deter knots from bleeding through
your finish, pre-treat knots with a suitable product.
When painting your shed, there are a few key areas that can easily be overlooked that must be painted:
Bottom edge of all siding and trim
Inside of doors and all 4 edges.
• Smart Siding is a pre-primed material, see manufacturers recommended finishing:
