Frequently Asked Questions
What is the life expectancy of treated pine ?
Treated Pine has a life expectancy of up to 10/15 Years.
This life expectancy can be assisted with adding a finish to your order!
How often should I Re-Stain/Paint/Oil/Varnish my table?
We recommend the following time frames for re coating, however, as timber is a natural material, every piece is different. The best guide for recoating with oil or stain is when the table starts to look patchy or dry.
Oil - Quarterly
Stain - Quarterly
Paint - Annually
*This is an estimate based on normal use and does not take into consideration any abnormal or extreme weather conditions. If you start to see fading, this is the time to recoat

We use H3 Treated Pine MPG10 Kiln Dried as standard for our treated pine tables and we use Blackbutt for our Hardwood tables.

What is to be expected when buying a timber table?
As our timber tables are made from a natural material, change is to be expected. The timber will adjust to it environment the most within the first 12 months. It is recommended that the bolts are tightened regularly within this period. You may also notice that as your table adjusts to its new environment, cracks in the natural surface start to open and close within the timber; do not be alarmed, this is a completely normal part of the timber's adjustment process, even if they look large! This change will not affect the structural integrity of the table. You may also notice shrinkage in the timber, again this is a totally normal part of the process. Remember, your table spent most of its life as a living tree so it may take a while for it to adjust to its new life!
