Timber facts

·       MATERIALS – Timber is a natural product and as such is liable to shrinkage, waning, warping, and splitting. Due to the natural structure of the timber these changes can sometimes cause some twisting or distortion which we are unable to predict in manufacture but have no effect on the structural integrity of the finished article.

Gaps between slats on panels may appear over time. This phenomenon is caused by the natural behaviour of wood when drying. Splitting in the timber is also a part of the natural drying process in hot weather and in some cases; these splits may reduce or ‘heal’ in wetter conditions and should not be viewed as flaws. This may appear as soon as timber is exposed to weather or may take some time. However, this will not affect the strength of the timber and will stabilize over time.

·        COLOUR VARIATION - 

The colour and grain of all timber varies naturally, and we cannot guarantee an exact colour match. Different staining intensities and/or colour changes on the surface of the pressure treated are common characteristics. Colour differences will usually become less pronounced over time.
