Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Tuscany panels requires basic carpentry knowledge. Since they are intended to be mounted onto existing structures or posts, ensure your mounting surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of the timber. We recommend using galvanized or stainless steel screws to prevent rust marks on the wood.
To maximize the life of your panels:
- Inspect Annually: Check for any loose fasteners or signs of surface wear once a year.
- Cleaning: Gently hose down the panels to remove debris or moss buildup.
- Treatment: While pressure-treated, applying an external timber stain or preservative every 2-3 years will help maintain the color and further extend the lifespan of the wood.
- Placement: If installing against a wall, use spacers to ensure a small gap between the wood and the masonry to allow for better drainage.
