Garden pavilion painting and maintenance
Wood is a natural material, growing and adapting depending on weather conditions. Large and small cracks,
colour tone differences and changes, as well as a changing structure of wood are not errors, but a result of
wood growing and a peculiarity of wood as a natural material.
Unprocessed wood (except for foundation joists) becomes greyish after having been left untouched for a
while, and can be turn blue and become mouldy. To protect the wooden details of your garden pavilion, you
must immediately process them with a wood preservative.
We recommend that you cover the floor boards in advance with a colourless wood impregnation agent,
especially the bottom sides of the boards, to which you will no longer have access when the pavilion is
assembled. Only this will prevent moisture penetration.
We definitely recommend that you also process the doors and windows with a wood impregnation agent,
and do that namely both inside and outside! Otherwise the doors and windows can become twisted.
After the pavilion assembly is completed, we recommend for the conclusive finishing a weather protection
paint that will protect wood from moisture and UV radiation.
When painting, use high quality tools and paints, follow the paint application manual and manufacturer's
safety and usage instructions. Never paint a surface in strong sunlight or rainy weather. Consult a specialist
regarding paints suitable for unprocessed softwood and follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.
Having been properly painted, your garden pavilion's lifetime will increase substantially. We recommend
that you inspect the pavilion thoroughly once every six months.
