Chapter 1: Wood type and surface treatment
1.1 Choosing the right type of wood
When purchasing a wooden privacy screen, the choice of wood species is crucial. Woods such as larch and Accoya are particularly suitable due to their natural resistance to weathering.
1.2 Surface treatment
A high-quality surface treatment is essential to protect the wood from UV radiation, moisture and pests. Regular impregnation, varnishing or oiling forms a protective barrier and extends the service life of the privacy screen.
Chapter 2: Cleaning and removing soiling
2.1 Regular cleaning
Clean your wooden privacy screen regularly to remove dirt, dust and pollen. Use a soft broom or a garden hose with low pressure to avoid damaging the wood.
2.2 Removing moss and algae
Moss and algae can form on wooden surfaces. Remove these with a mixture of water and vinegar or special wood cleaners. Use a soft brush to avoid damaging the wood.
Chapter 3: Protection against moisture and fungal infestation
3.1 Avoiding waterlogging
Make sure that your wooden privacy screen is not permanently exposed to waterlogging. Good drainage and raising the wooden feet can help to prevent waterlogging.
3.2 Treatment against fungal infestation
If your wood is affected by fungal infestation, treat it immediately with a fungicidal wood preservative. This will prevent the spread of fungi and prevent further damage.
Chapter 4: Winter care and storage
4.1 Ensure winter resistance
Make your wooden privacy screen winter-proof by protecting it well from frost and moisture. Remove loose leaves in the fall and impregnate the wood to protect it from winter conditions.
