The advent of sunnier, warmer, drier weather always brings with it the problems of new fencing installations developing splits and cracks - especially in larger diameter posts. Apart from being unsightly, the deeper cracks can present a risk to the long-term life of the post, by exposing the untreated core of the timber. (Many people assume that timber which has been pressure treated is preserved all the way through - but that isn't the case: only the outer few millimetres will contain preservative at the right concentration.) Therefore, a deep crack that goes below this "protective layer" is a recipe for future trouble.
TFT can inspect consignments of new posts and other landscaping timber products; and we can advise on ways to minimise the problems I've just described, if we should find potential difficulties. Call us on +44 (0)1765 601010 or email tft@woodexperts.com to find out more.
