PRESSURE TREATED TIMBER: Pressure treatment is a lifetime preservative treatment. The preservative is forced deep into the timber under pressure in a vacuum and penetrates below the surface. All other treatments apply a coat of stain to the surface of the timber only. With pressure impregnated timber, the chemicals are permanently bonded to the cell structure of the wood at a molecular level. Tanalith E is a widely used water based version so pressure treated wood is often described as tanalised. Pressure treated wood is almost colourless except for a slight green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. No further preservative treatment is ever needed. However, if you want a coloured finish you can paint over pressure treated or tanalised wood with a suitable wood preservative in any colour.

SCANDINAVIAN REDWOOD OR WHITEWOOD: The most widely used timber in the UK for years, Scandinavian Redwood and Whitewood grow in the well managed forests of Scandinavia and the coldest parts of Northern Europe. The cold climate ensures slow growth. The growth rings are much closer together than faster growing trees from warmer climates. As a result the timber is heavy and durable with a close grain pattern. The wood is seasoned and kiln dried to achieve the correct moisture content before it is machined. Redwood and Whitewood are so similar in appearance and performance that it is difficult to tell the difference. Both are classified as slightly durable and treatment is required for outside use. The forests of Scandinavia and Northern Europe have been responsibly managed on a sustainable basis for centuries so Scandinavian Redwood or Whitewood is an enviromentally friendly choice.

CUSHIONS: Our cushions feature showerproof polyester fabrics. Cushions with a zip on one side are removable and machine washable at low temperatures.

Your cushions should be stored in a dry environment during the winter to ensure that they remain in good condition.

BASE ANCHORS: Our base anchor kits are designed to fix timber products firmly into a concrete or paving base. Sufficient brackets and fixings are supplied to securely fix the main supports down into the base. As a minimum, our 2 pack features 2 base anchors to fix down 2 of the supports, normally at opposite corners. Our 4 pack features 4 base anchors to fix down the supports at 4 corners. The kit includes wood screws to fix the brackets into the timber and hammer fixings to fix down into the base. The brackets feature pre-drilled holes. Drill bits are not included. If you plan to fix your product into a timber or decking base you should replace the hammer fixings with woodscrews.
