'Tanalised' refers to timber that has been pressure treated with a wood preservative. This process forces the preservative deep into the wood fibers, making it highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its lifespan.
No, it's not required for protection against rot as the timber is already pressure-treated. However, you can apply a wood stain or paint for aesthetic reasons or to help protect against UV fading if desired.
With its pressure-treated Scandinavian redwood, the pergola is designed to resist rot for up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance, offering excellent longevity.
The pergola arrives partially assembled to simplify the process. However, due to its size and weight (80kg), it is strongly recommended that at least two people assist with assembly and positioning for safety and ease.
Anchoring is highly recommended for stability. The specific type of anchoring (e.g., ground spikes, post anchors, or concrete footings) depends on your ground type and local conditions. Anchoring hardware is not included with the pergola.
Yes, the heavy-duty construction is suitable for most climbing plants, including vigorous growers like wisteria, grapevines, roses, honeysuckle, and clematis. Ensure the plants are regularly pruned to manage their weight and growth.
Ensure all joints and fixings are securely tightened. The most critical step for stability is proper anchoring into the ground. If not yet done, purchase and install appropriate ground anchors for your specific ground type.
This is a natural process as wood weathers when exposed to the elements. The 'tanalised' treatment protects against rot, but not necessarily color fading. You can apply a suitable exterior wood stain or paint if you wish to restore or change the color.
Double-check that all components are correctly oriented and matched according to the assembly diagrams. Ensure you have adequate space and consider having an additional person assist, as the components can be heavy and awkward to maneuver alone.
Small cracks (checking) are natural occurrences in timber as it adjusts to changes in humidity and temperature. This is normal for solid wood products and typically does not affect the structural integrity or rot resistance of the pressure-treated timber.
Your Heavy Duty Pergola arrives partially assembled, which streamlines the construction process. Detailed assembly instructions should be followed carefully. Due to its size and weight (80kg), it is highly recommended to have at least two people for assembly and positioning.
