Preserving the Natural Beauty of Wood.
Wood is a natural material with unique grain patterns, textures and characteristics. Seasonal changes in temperature and humidity may cause minor expansion, contraction or surface checking.
Regular care helps maintain both the appearance and performance of wooden play equipment.
Cleaning
Remove dirt, leaves and debris using a soft brush or cloth.
Clean with water and a mild, wood-compatible cleaning solution when necessary.
Avoid harsh chemicals and high-pressure washing that may damage the wood surface.
Allow the wood to dry naturally after cleaning.
Inspection
Check for splinters, rough edges and excessive cracking.
Inspect timber connections and structural supports.
Look for signs of rot, decay or insect damage.
Check for prolonged moisture accumulation around ground-contact areas.
Surface Protection
Inspect protective finishes periodically.
Reapply a suitable outdoor wood finish when needed, following the coating manufacturer's instructions.
Use finishes appropriate for children's play equipment and applicable safety requirements.
Important: Minor surface checking may occur naturally in solid wood. However, deep cracks, structural splits or signs of decay should be professionally assessed before continued use.
