NATURAL ELEMENTS PRESENT ON WOOD
Note: Wood is a natural material very sensitive to outdoor conditions. It is likely to swell slightly during winter
periods and to retract in dry periods. These dimensional variations are completely normal and predictable
and do not affect the strength and functionality of the shelter.
The planks are not all identical because they come from a natural material. Wood is a material that works and
evolves over time and the seasons. Here is a presentation of the natural elements of wood which should not
be considered as defects.
Abnormal wood coloring
It is possible to distinguish shades between the different boards. But these differences are greatly reduced
with sunlight.
Round knotsThe knots testify to the presence of a branch on the tree trunk. Those with a fragility for wood
are excluded during quality control.
Resin traces
Resin may rise to the surface of the wooden planks. It should be removed with a soft tool or turpentine, in
small quantities so as not to stain.
Superficial mold
Superficial mold can appear on the surface of the wood as a result of heat and humidity. Use a rag or
sandpaper to remove surface marks.
Fis Cracks and checks
The density of the wood varies greatly depending on humidity and temperature. Under the effect of heat, the
wood shrinks and can reveal significant cracks. This is normal and does not affect the mechanical properties
or the quality of the shelter. However, if the cracks are more than 8 mm wide, customer service can be
contacted to determine what corrective actions can be implemented.
Graying
Wood changes color over time, to keep the color, a stain should be applied to the wood when it is dry. Be
careful, a colorless stain does not prevent the natural discoloration of the wood. Despite this protection, the
areas most exposed to moisture and light (the ends of the planks, floor pieces, doors and interfaces with nails
/ screws) are more easily affected by discoloration. In rare cases, the wood may gray out of compliance in the
event of poor shelter maintenance: - After treatment when the product is applied to excessively damp wood;
- In the case of a treatment applied too late. Claims covered by the warranty relate only to the replacement of
defective materials. All other requests will be excluded!
