TIMBER LOUNGES

We use 45mm thick LOSP H3 treated pine sleepers, beams and posts to build this range.

​

LOSP H3 treated pine sleepers have a distinct curved grain, knots, occasional surface cracks and other natural wood blemishes that add to the rustic beauty and character of this style furniture.

 

LOSP H3 treated pine sleepers are designed to endure exterior conditions. Although the timber won’t rot it will weather and grey if not coated with an appropriate exterior paint or sealer. Depending on your expectations this may lend to the finish you’re after. If exposed directly to continual rain and sun, a higher rate of weathering will occur, and more regular maintenance and reapplication of paint or sealer will be required. Again, this weathering look may be suited to you.

 

Pine sleeper furniture is ideally suited for under cover veranda or alfresco settings which may include a bit of sun and rain. Slight weathering such as a few fine cracks and slight cupping may occur which is expected and part of the rustic look. Resin bleeding can occasionally occur. If resin bleed does occur and is sticky it can be rubbed down lightly with a cloth and mineral turpentine. If the resin has hardened, then light sanding with 150g and 400g paper and rubbing down with mineral turpentine as well as possible reapplication of paint or sealer and beeswax polish will help restore.

 

The required maintenance is dependent on how the timber is finished, whether painted, oiled, sealed. Please check with us what is required depending on how your purchase has been finished.
