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.
