If you are looking at purchasing a building with an exterior timber cladding of Western Red Cedar please be aware that they are constructed with softwood internal framing, softwood roofs and softwood boarded floors with tanalised floor joists.

You may also notice, due to the nature of Cedar, Variations in colour shading, which cannot be avoided. All buildings in our range are supplied with a basecoat which is applied by totally immersing each section in our quality spirit based treatment ensuring penetration on all sides. Many other manufacturers use water based wood preserver, this is a product Regency will not use.

Roof sections are additionally protected by green polyester felt on all buildings. With the exception of our popular range all our floors are supplied with tanalised floor joints as standard.

Any building larger than 10’ (3050mm) on any side will be manufactured in more than one piece for ease of access and transportation.

Consideration to siting a building is nearly as important as the building itself so take time to ensure that the site for your building is correct. Things to consider would be proximity of boundaries which could affect planning, the position of the sun if you wish to maximise natural light. To ensure the longevity of your building we do not recommend that trees or shrubs overhang the building.

It is essential that the base and foundations are correctly prepared for your building as failure to provide a suitable base could affect both the operating of the doors and any opening windows. We would recommend the base is at least the minimum size of the building ordered, to ensure stability of your building the base must be firm and level.

There are three main options, a concrete slab, a flagged area, concrete or timber bearers. Gravel or any similar substance is not recommended.

You should also consider allowing space around the building for both installation and maintenance work e.g. Re- treating annually with Regency Golden Oak wood preserver or similar product.

ls it possible to get the building in its section form to the installation area?

check for any restrictions, obstacles or bends that will prevent access of the timber sections including height and width as most sections will not go through a standard size door.

We can manufacture in smaller sections if required at an extra cost.

To maintain the quality and appearance of your building we recommend that you regularly oil the ironmongery e.g. door and window hinges and to re-treat your building annually.

The original colour treatment, Regency Golden Oak can be obtained from your local stockist.

If your building is installed in damp conditions please ensure you leave adequate ventilation until the building is dry.

We take great care when painting your building to achieve the best results & finish. Please be aware that knots will show through the paint (more so on light colours). This is a natural process and cannot be avoided.

We cannot guarantee against this happening even though the paint system we use does include knot inhibitors. All of our painted buildings are treated internally with Regency Golden Oak wood preserver.

The modern paint system we use has been developed to allow resin exudation (on softwood) and tannin (staining in cedar) to raise to the surface and weather naturally.
