Forest Garden recommend some annual aftercare which will help protect the wood and make it more durable to ensure it lasts longer. Preservatives, also known as wood treatment, can protect all types of timber from discolouration and decay, as well as giving a constant all-year-round colour. An annual wood preservative paint will protect your new purchase or rejuvenate an existing one.

In addition to the annual application of a preservative, they also recommend the annual application of a wax or oil based weatherproofing finish. This will stabilise the movement of your product caused by atmospheric moisture levels, and protect it from the elements.

Keeping your timber building ventilated is important as moisture can become trapped between layers of non-breathable materials and build-up, leading to floors becoming rotten.

Regular housekeeping is also recommended to prolong the life of your product. Ensure debris is not allowed to build up on the roof as this will hold moisture which can lead to the premature wear of any roof covering, cause the product to leak, and ultimately cause the product to rot. Prune back any vegetation that comes into contact with the product as this can also act as a conduit for moisture.
