Timber Maintenance Guide:

1. We recommend to clean your outdoor walkboards several times a year. We suggest to use an outdoor wood furniture cleaner and follow their instructions. Also remove any cobwebs, leaves or dirt before cleaning and dry thoroughly in the sun after cleaning. We don't recommend a high pressure washer.
2. We recommend to sand and oil your walkboards as required throughout the year. The weather will deteriorate timber so the location of the walkboards and the weather such as rain and humidity will wear timber at different rates. Using a natural furniture oil will help to maintain the beautiful colour of the timber and hold the necessary moisture in the wood. Please follow the manufacturer's directions for oiling. Usually only a light sand is needed.
3. If your outdoor walkboards get wet, we suggest that you dry them out in the sun. This will help to prevent mould and wood rot.
4. For best longevity of your outdoor walkboards we also suggest that you keep them undercover or cover them when not in use. If the walkboards can be kept under a roof out of direct weather and sun, it will help to make the most out of your walkboards.
5. The hardware can become loose over time, so we recommend that you check the hardware throughout the year. This will help to keep the walkboards strong and in the best working condition.
6. These walkboards are suitable for outdoor use. However as with all timber, the weather will wear the wood. You may even notice a few small cracks which is not a structural defect, but a perfectly natural process, as the wood expands and contracts, adjusting to the elements. Following the above guide on a regular basis will help to maintain the beauty, integrity and strength of the timber and allows you to get the most enjoyment from the walkboards.
