Why Do I Need to Treat My Garden House Immediately After Installation? What Should I Pay Attention to?

Modified on Fri, 28 Mar at 1:35 PM

Untreated wood will gradually turn gray, and may even develop blue stains or mold over time. To protect the wood in your garden house, it should be treated immediately with a wood preservative. For the best results, we recommend applying a clear wood preservative to the floorboards before assembly, particularly on the undersides of boards, as these areas will be inaccessible once assembled. This helps prevent moisture from seeping in.


After assembling the house, use a weatherproof paint to shield the wood from moisture and UV rays. Be sure to paint only in dry conditions and avoid direct sunlight.

Consult your paint dealer for advice on the most suitable paint for your climate, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 


Please turn extra attention to treating doors and windows. Ensure that all sides and edges of doors and windows are treated with wood stain or varnish to avoid warping or bending.


We also recommend that you inspect the garden house every six months and renew the protective treatment when necessary.
