PRESSURE TREATMENT
The buildings oor bearers have been pressure treated.
Pressure treating is a chemical process which helps to protect wood against
adverse weather which could lead to rot or insect damage.
The most common chemicals used to pressure treat wood are Alkaline Copper
Quaternary (ACQ), Copper Azole (CA), and Micronized Copper Quaternary
(MCQ).
Safety: Always wear gloves, eye protection and dust mask when handling wood.
Due to chemicals in pressure treated wood, never burn its sawdust or scraps;
instead dispose in a landll.
To prolong the life of your new building, a suitable base must be prepared prior to your installation.
BASE REQUIREMENTS
The base for your garden building must be;
Firm, solid and level.
Square across the diagonals and level by spirit level.
No smaller than the size of your chosen product.
Please take into account the roof overhang from the product for any eave
height obstructions.
We do not advise to install our garden buildings directly onto gravel or
other unpaved surfaces. This is due to the possibility of subsidence and rot.
Timber frame bases are often an ideal base solution for unpaved areas
SUITABLE BASES

A concrete base.
A paved base.
A decked construction.
A timber framework.
