Garden house painting and maintenance

Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather conditions. Large and small cracks, colour
tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure of wood are not errors, but a result of wood growing
and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material.
Unprocessed wood becomes greyish after having been left untouched for a while, and can be turn blue and become
mouldy. To protect the wooden details of your garden house, you must immediately process them with a wood
preservative.
Attention! The house is supplied without elaborative workmanship. To reduce fire hazard you should use
paints or impregnation substances that prevent fire from spreading! Use water-based paints
and impregnation substances and avoid solvent-based products!
Consult a specialist regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow the paint
manufacturer's instructions.
It is not allowed to cover the product with lacquer or paint on which surface the flame spread rate is higher
than 20mm/s.
When painting, use high quality tools and paints, follow the paint application manual and manufacturer's safety and
usage instructions. Never paint a surface in strong sunlight or rainy weather.
After the house assembly is completed, we recommend for the conclusive finishing a weather protection paint that will
protect wood from moisture and UV radiation.
➢ In lengthy periods of dry weather wood can shrink and the screw/bolt spots attachments can become weak.
Conduct regular checks and tighten the screws/bolts as necessary (no less frequently than 6 month)!
Otherwise the product may become dangerous.
➢ The suitability of the base material, corrosion of accessories and rotting of wooden parts should be checked
once a year. Moving parts must be oiled and worn and/or defective parts should be replaced with parts
provided by the manufacturer.
➢ Be especially attentive when checking barrier and door attachments.
➢ It is recommended to inspect the house thoroughly once in a year. Regular painting of the house will prolong
its useful life substantially.
➢ You should also check the condition of the roof to discover any leaks as early as possible. Eliminate leaks as
you find them to prevent rainwater from damaging the roof and other wooden parts of the house.
Attention! For repairing the product use only identical details. The specification of the components can
be found from the documentation accompanying the house package.
