TIMBER

As with all natural materials, timber can be affected during various weather 

conditions. For the duration of heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the 

wood panels may occur. Warping of the wood may also occur during excessive 

dry spells due to an interior moisture loss. Unfortunately, these processes cannot 

be avoided but can be helped. It is suggested that the outdoor building is 

sprayed with water during extended periods of warm sunshine and sheltered as 

much as possible during rain or snow. 

Our buildings are pre treated with a water based treatment**; this only helps to 

protect the product during transit and for upto 3 months against mould.  To 

validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL the 

building is treated with a wood preserver within the first three months of 

assembly and thereafter in accordance with the manufactures recommenda-

tions.  Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed on a suitable base.

BUILDING A BASE

When thinking about where the building and base is going to be constructed: 

Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual 

treatment.

Whilst all products manufactured  are made to the 
highest standards of Safety and in the case of childrens 
products independently tested to EN71 level, we cannot

CAUTION

Every effort has been made during the 

manufacturing process to eliminate the 

prospect of splinters on rough surfaces 

of the timber.  You are strongly advised 

to wear gloves when working with or 

handling rough sawn timer.

Ensure the base is level and is built on firm ground, to prevent distortion.  Refer 

to diagrams for the base dimensions,  The base should be slightly smaller than 

the external measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should overlap the 

base, creating a run off for water. It is also recommended that the floor be at 

least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding.

TYPES OF BASE

- Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.

- Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
