Construction
The construction is made of impregnated softwood. Spruce and pine wood, which is not technically-dried, acquires its greenish color from metal salts released by the impregnating agent. They protect wood against fungus and insect infestations, but do not contain UV protection. Impregnation gives wood higher residual moisture. Subsequent drying can lead to release of resin, twisting and formation of drying cracks, which pose no static disadvantage and rather reflect the natural materials used.
Colour treatment
The wooden parts in this kit have been treated at the factory with a water-based preservative. This means the kit can be assembled straight away upon delivery. To ensure the long-term preservation of the wooden surface, it is recommended that the wood be treated further after a sufficient drying and weathering period of approximately 2 to 3 sunny months.
Before painting, the surface should be lightly sanded and cleaned. It is then recommended to apply two coats of a wood preservative suitable for outdoor use. Products with UV protection can help to reduce the visual ageing of the wood caused by weathering. Please follow the application instructions provided by the respective manufacturer.
Regular maintenance and timely re-treatment help to keep the surface in good condition over the long term. The required maintenance intervals depend on the location, exposure to the elements and the coating system used.
Roofing
The roof is supplied with 20 mm-thick roof boarding of solid wood roofing with roof shingles.
Bracing
The building kit includes 60 cm-long H-post anchors of galvanized flat steel for embedding in concrete in the site-built deep foundation (for size and lay-out see assembly instructions). They firmly connect the posts to the subsurface to ensure high stability.
