Specific Maintenance Details
FSC Timber
Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in more exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris type build up on
the timber surface. Ideally this should be completed in early spring. During the cleaning stage, all exposed timber surfaces
should be inspected for splits and splinters. Any splinters and graffiti should be removed and the surface sanded with 100
grit sandpaper in order to remove any uneven / sharp edges or surfaces.
During the first few months after installation the tannin naturally occurring in the timber may leach out and cause a brown
staining on the bases. This may be removed with a light solution of household bleach and water.
Stainless Steel (polished stainless steel only)
Clean as required, but at least every three months, using a stainless steel polish and a lint free cloth. To remove ground in dirt,
a stainless steel finishing pad may be required.
