Our timber is kiln-dried, which greatly reduces the likelihood of excessive movement. However, due to the thickness and solid construction of our furniture planks, splits will occur during hot summer temperatures.
It's important to note that wood is a natural material and naturally expands and contracts with changes in weather. This characteristic is common in all solid wooden products of this size. Rest assured, the structural integrity of our furniture remains unaffected, and any splits that occur will naturally shrink as the weather cools down.
To address any potential sharp or splintered edges that may arise in extreme temperatures, we offer furniture care packs. These packs allow you to easily sand down any rough surfaces and ensure the furniture maintains its pristine condition.
Regardless of any timber movement, we recommend the regular practice of sanding rough areas and applying a protective coat of Osmo oil annually. This simple maintenance routine will keep your furniture in optimal condition for years to come.
Additionally, we advise safeguarding your outdoor garden furniture during the winter months by either storing it indoors or under a waterproof cover. These precautions will offer further protection to the timber, ensuring its longevity.
