FAQs

What tools are needed to work with this stripwood?

You'll need a saw (hand saw, circular saw, or mitre saw), measuring tape, pencil, safety glasses, and optionally, a sander, drill, and hammer.

Can I use this stripwood outdoors?

While the pine stripwood can be used outdoors, it must be treated with a suitable wood sealant or preservative to protect it from the elements.

How do I prepare the wood for painting?

Sand the surface to create a smooth finish, apply a wood primer, and then paint with your desired colour.

What type of adhesive is best for joining the stripwood?

Wood glue is ideal for strong joints. Consider using a construction adhesive for more demanding applications.

Is the wood pre-treated?

No, the wood is not pre-treated. It has a smooth, planed finish and is ready to be finished with paint, stain, or sealant, as needed.

What is the best way to cut the stripwood?

A fine-toothed saw will provide the cleanest cuts. A mitre saw is recommended for angled cuts.

How should I store any unused stripwood?

Store unused stripwood in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, lying flat to prevent warping.

Troubleshooting

Wood splitting during installation

Pre-drill pilot holes before driving in screws or nails.
