Add the Finishing
Touch. (Optional)
Timber is a naturally grown product and may shrink and warp when dried out, timber is a porous
material which can absorb water. Although all of our buildings come pressure treated we strongly
advise the building is re-treated with an oil/spirit based treatment inside and out to make the timber
water repellent and to preserve the quality and life of the product.
