Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Snowdon Timber boards, we recommend treating them with an exterior-grade wood preservative before installation. While the metal bands prevent some splitting, drilling pilot holes before inserting large screws will help avoid further damage to the wood fibers.
- Storage: Keep boards dry and elevated off the ground until you are ready to use them to prevent warping from moisture absorption.
- Cutting: Use a circular saw or handsaw appropriate for thick timber; always wear protective gear when cutting treated or weathered wood.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for moss or mildew buildup in the cracks and treat with an exterior deck cleaner or protective oil annually to maintain the timber's integrity.
