Warranty & Maintenance

All Churnet Valley items are handmade and supplied with a 12 month manufacturer's warranty. As this item is pressure treated, it has a life expectancy of up to 20 years with little or no maintenance. The pressure treatment leaves the wood with a temporary green tint. If left to weather, the wood will fade to a silvery grey colour; however you can change the colour straight away by staining the wood using Protek Timber Eco Shield, or it can be painted or stained after it has been allowed to weather for at least 3 months using a product compatible for use with pressure treated timber. This is a natural product made from wood that will include natural features like knots and veins through the grain. The wood will react to exposure to sunlight and changing moisture levels that can cause cracks or splits in the wood. These natural characteristics are due to the wood losing moisture during warm and dry seasons, during colder and wetter seasons the wood will uptake moisture again which will reduce these splits or cracks. This natural process will not affect the longevity nor structure of the product. To extend the life of the planter it is advisable to line the inside before adding soil.
