Specifications

• Pressure Treated Timber is used on the framework and exterior of all sheds.

• Do not confuse Pressure Treated with Pre Treated or Exterior Treatment.

• Pressure Treated timber will last far longer than timber treated by other methods.

• This treatment can be certified by our suppliers.

• Pressure treatment will prevent decay due to dampness but will not prevent damage such as warping and splitting by the sun.

• Extreme temperatures may cause timber to warp. This is a natural occurrence. When timber dries small knots may fall out, there is no way to prevent this, as this is also a natural occurrence.

• The manufacturer is not responsible for warping that may occur.

We recommend the exterior be treated with a suitable wood preserver or varnish as soon as possible after installation.

• eg. Classic finish - Varnish or Quick Drying Woodstain.
• Rustic finish  – Waterbased wood preservative (Cuprinol Timbercare or Ronseal Fence Life).
• Joints may need to be resealed at some stage.

The exterior timber on sides of Classic shed is imported from Scandanavia / Northern Europe.
