Our forest shelters here at Setter Play are made from the highest quality timber, and there are a couple of things you need to do if you want to keep yours in good condition.
• Regular cleaning – cleaning will help to remove any build-ups of dirt and debris that cause wood to wear down and rot over time. Wash with warm water (make sure it’s not piping hot) and a mild detergent or disinfectant.
• Stain and seal the timber – wood is a durable material, but this isn’t to say that it won’t benefit from an extra layer of protection. To keep your forest shelter in the best condition for as long as possible, you should re-stain and re-seal the timber every one to three years.
• Routine inspections – keeping a close eye on your forest shelter is one of the easiest ways to look after it. Look for splinters, cracks or rotting and repair/treat these issues as soon as possible, making sure to sand down any rough patches.
