WOOD ADVICE
Our products are manufactured from premium timber. Great care is taken in selecting, machining, and treating the timber before it is sold to you.
- Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in dry periods causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe environment. Treating your product with protection (sealant) after sanding will help prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather damage.
- We have applied a waterborne translucent stain to your unit. This is done for color only. Once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Before the application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough” spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.
Bear in mind that timber is a natural product and may experience changes throughout its life. It may
- Develop opening/checks (splits, gaps, slits, apertures, cracks) along the line of the grain due to moisture & temperature changes.
- Colour fades as the timber reacts with sunlight
MORE INFORMATION ON WOOD SPLITS
- Each Lifespan Kids Timber Play Equipment is designed and built with tolerances to account for wood splits. All timber components are dried, temperature treated, and specified to the right size to ensure that the structural integrity of your play equipment will not be compromised from normal weathering.
- Most wood splits will never become large enough to affect the reliability and strength of your play equipment.
- Keeping it indoors in a well-ventilated room will help prevent the splitting of the wood as the temperature is maintained. However, if you notice wood splits it it best to perform maintenance immediately.
- In the unlikely event you feel that a part has a possible fault in the timber, please contact Lifespan Kids immediately with pictures of the parts so they can be reviewed. Please refer to Page 46 to get in touch with us.
