We only use the best quality slow-grown Red Spruce Timber from our partners in Sweden. 

All our timber has been penetrated with wood preservative to enhance protection in terms of the prevention of rot, decay, and insect and fungal attacks. If timber is left untreated, the quality can deteriorate rapidly over time because of exposure to the elements of weather and moisture. 

Despite the care we take in importing and pressure treating the best timber possible, all timber is porous and therefore can absorb water, swell, shrink, crack, and twist throughout its lifespan. 

However, together we can help minimise these by: 

Double Nailing: 

• We use Stainless Steel Nails double nailed in each board in each upright to help minimise movement and twisting. 

Uprights: 

• We use strong timber at close intervals to support the timber cladding. 

Water Repellent Treatment: 

• You can customise the building with a colour of your choice or decide to keep it clear, but all cladding timber will need a water repellent treatment to help stop water penetration and moisture build-up. Moisture build-ups will occur naturally, especially during winter months, and in some cases will cause dampness and mould. Water repellent treatment will help minimise this and if any mould occurs, this can normally be remedied by wiping clear with a mild bleach solution and ventilating the building when possible. 

Regular Maintenance: 

• Your Building should be relatively maintenance free, however, as with everything it does need to be kept an eye on! When the building does move slightly throughout the year, doors and windows may need adjusting. Windows have been silicone sealed on manufacture but may need resealing if required. 
• Don't be afraid to lubricate locks and hinges. Being out in the elements is a strain on all materials! 
• Keep an eye on roofing materials. Felt will need particular attention: although we provide good quality material, felt does contract and expand during the seasons and over time can tear and crack. Once this happens, it is more likely the shed will start to leak, and replacement will be necessary. 
• For other roofing materials we do offer some level of warranty, so if your building is leaking from the roof, please get in touch for advice.
