Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure you have adequate space and a clean work area.
- Safety: Always wear gloves to protect against splinters, and eye protection and a breathing mask when cutting or sanding.
- Cutting: Use appropriate saws for cutting the timber to your required dimensions. Ensure the cuts are straight and accurate for a good fit.
- Fastening: Use screws, nails, or other fasteners appropriate for the project and timber.
- Treatment: Consider using wood treatments to protect the timber against the elements and prolong its lifespan.
Compatibility
The timber is compatible with a wide range of standard woodworking tools and materials. Ensure compatibility with any treatments or coatings you intend to use.
Care
- Storage: Store the timber in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, before use to prevent warping or damage.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the timber for any signs of rot, decay, or damage. Replace damaged sections as needed.
- Cleaning: Clean the timber with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid excessive moisture.
- Disposal: Dispose of treated wood responsibly. Industrial waste should be disposed of through an authorised waste contractor.
