The timbers we use for our products are extremely durable and able to resist the most inclement weather. They are therefore ideally suited to garden furniture.

Due to the weathering process and timber being a natural material, joints will become slightly offset and surface cracks will appear, particularly on the end grain and to a lesser extent on the surface within a few weeks. As with other hardwoods such as our FSC® 100% Teak or FSC® 100% Roble, this is the normal behaviour of timber, our furniture is designed with this in mind and its strength and durability will remain unaffected.

Our wooden products are a natural living timber, just like nature itself wood varies in shape and colour. Timber, even from the same tree, will vary in many aspects. The variation in colour is just one distinguishing feature of a product, as well as interlocking grain on our FSC® 100% Roble.

Stains such as spillages, bird droppings and mildew can be removed using a wood cleaner. Alternatively sand down using medium grit sand paper.

Lifting grain or cracks can be glued using a waterproof adhesive suitable for timber. Clamping may be necessary with excess glue being removed using a damp cloth. This area should be sanded once the glue is dried.

Black spotting can occur through tannic acid in the wood or airbourne spores. It is a natural process and is to be expected, it will not affect the quality or durability of the wood. To remove the black spotting use an antifungal cleaner e.g. Dettol, using a thin bristle brush until black spots have gone.

Do not use soapy water to clean black spotting.
