TIMBER AND TREATMENT INFORMATION
All products are manufactured ulising premium quality mber. Strict mber selecon processes ensure that all
mber is selected, cut and planed to correct specicaons. Timber however is a natural product material, and will
therefore experience changes in both appearance and composion during its life cycle. This means that it may;
• Develop openings in the structure of wood following the grain, openings include (gaps, slits, apertures,
cracks and also splits). These gaps are caused by the dierence in moisture content on the internal and
external surfaces of the mber. This is expected during drier and weer seasons, this is not a cause for
concern and will not aect structural integrity, life or guarantee of the product.
• Warp and distort in overall shape. Any distoron or warping of the mber will only be slight, and will not
aect the overall enjoyment or structural integrity of the equipment.
• Fade in colour as the mber reacts to exposure to UV light. The mber will react with the sunlight, and fade
over me, treatment of the wood with a proprietary product is recommended on an annual basis.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

and monthly thereaer. Items to check include; Main parts, xings, bolts, anchors and fabrics. Failure to perform
periodic checks may result in injury.
-Regularly check xing ghtness and re-ghten if necessary, keep joints lubricated and replace any missing xing/
edge covers.
-Any aachments, such as swings and ropes, must be regularly checked for evidence of degradaon or
deterioraon. Replace any parts that show signs of this.
-During long periods of non-use, equipment is recommended to be dismantled and stored in a dry cool place,
such as garages or sheds. This will prolong the life of the product during adverse weather condions, this does not
