Treating your timber building

To VALIDATE the guarantee: Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. Rowlinsons state that the building must be properly treated with a recognised external wood preserver WITHIN 3 MONTHS of assembly and then re-treated annually

Keeping air circulating under the base

Adequate provision must be made to ensure ground contact is avoided and air is able to circulate underneath the building.  Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit in pooled water during wet conditions. If the building is to sit on soil or grass it MUST be erected on pressure treated (aka tanalised) wooden 50mm x 50mm or similar bearers (These are not supplied in the kit).

Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.

Timber Information.

Because timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. During excessive dry spells the material may lose some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel

Similarly in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels. This process can-not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
