By following our maintenance guidelines, you&#8217;ll protect the longevity of your construction project, as well as keep our warranty valid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper Treatment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to keep your newly-installed cabin in top shape? To extend its lifespan and benefit from the warranty, make sure you give it a second coat of preservative as soon as possible! All wood surfaces &#8211; inside walls, outer walls, floorboards etc. &#8211; need regular maintenance every 5 years. Failure to do so might invalidate your warranty coverage. By following these steps you will ensure that&#8217;s never an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure a polished finish, the exterior of your home should only be treated in dry weather. Avoid applying paint or preservative when it&#8217;s damp outside and you&#8217;ll have an impeccable result!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-492\" src=\"https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1001\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01-24x15.jpg 24w, https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01-36x22.jpg 36w, https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01-48x29.jpg 48w, https:\/\/demoforclients.com\/nordic-sheds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/NS_Image_01-600x367.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storm Braces<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay safe and secure with our storm braces! After erecting your wall, insert one of these trusty metal rods through the entire thing. Top it off by firmly affixing a washer and nut from above &#8211; make sure all is held together tightly. We recommend doing this regularly so you can be prepared at any time &#8211; every two months during the first year then not less than once every four after that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a nut is stuck due to rust, use a wrench to give it some added force; but be sure not to overtighten it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowing The Wood To Settle<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to wall construction, logs should never be connected using screws or any other form of fixing. The unique tongue-and-groove milled log design preserves the structure&#8217;s integrity while allowing for insulation and drywalling. Remember to use floating lathes that provide a 7cm tolerance so your walls can move as needed due to temperature fluctuations!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nature provides us with an endless array of beautiful elements, and when it comes to construction materials, wood is one of the most popular choices. But don&#8217;t be alarmed if you notice cracks or knots in your wooden pieces &#8211; these unique features occur naturally! Rest assured that they will not affect the product&#8217;s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re planning your cabin without any heating system or insulation, remember that those floorboards may not stay tight. Regular adjustments could become necessary if gaps appear!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doors And Windows<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our products come with high-quality doors and windows built to last, but a few models don&#8217;t include rubber seals \u2013 meaning they&#8217;re not as weatherproof. In the event of extreme conditions, these could suffer some leakage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protect yourself and your home against water damage, drafts or even bugs! By simply installing silicone or rubber seals behind the architraves of any doors &amp; windows that don&#8217;t currently have them, you&#8217;re taking a step towards ensuring long-term safety. This is part of basic maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our products come with added rubber seals on doors and windows. You can trust that your home is snugly sealed, no extra effort necessary!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjusting The Doors And Windows<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your doors and windows in tip-top shape! Wood frames tend to settle over time, making them tricky when you go to open or close them. Adjusting these components ensures they&#8217;ll continue functioning as expected!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installing your product may give you the impression that door and window openings are bigger than necessary &#8211; but this allows room for settling in. For the first two years, we suggest avoiding any attempts to fill those gaps with expanding foam or other insulation materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maintenance Keep your garden shed looking natural and inviting for years to come!
