TIMBER AFTERCARE

How to look after your timber posts

Our timber posts undergo a specialized treatment process known as tanalising, which provides excellent protection against rot, decay, and insect infestation. This treatment ensures the longevity and durability of the posts, making them ideal for outdoor applications, especially pull up bars.

One of the notable advantages of tanalised timber is its low maintenance requirements. The treatment penetrates deep into the wood, creating a protective barrier that significantly reduces the risk of deterioration. This means that your pull up bar's timber posts do not require any additional treatment or protective coatings to maintain their strength and resistance to the elements.

The posts do not need painting or staining, but if you would like to do this so they match other timber in your garden, that’s completely fine to do. When considering painting your tanalised timber posts, it's crucial to choose high-quality exterior-grade paints or stains. These products are specially formulated to withstand outdoor conditions, ensuring long-lasting color and protection. Before painting, ensure that the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from any debris or previous coatings. Proper preparation and application techniques will ensure a smooth and durable finish that enhances the visual appeal of your pull up bar installation.

It's worth noting that painting the tanalised timber posts is an optional aesthetic choice, and it does not affect the structural integrity or performance of the pull up bar. The tanalisation treatment is already designed to provide excellent protection, and any additional coating is solely for cosmetic purposes.
