Maintenance & Aftercare
Timber is a natural material and benefits from proper care to maximise its lifespan. We recommend:
-
Treating with a solvent-based wood preservative every 2–3 years
-
Keeping the base of panels raised with gravel boards to avoid rot
-
Regular inspections for signs of damage or wear
-
Calling us for maintenance or repairs as needed
