THE NATURAL BEHAVIOUR OF TIMBER
With timber being a natural product it may vary in colour and can move, swell and shrink but this is normal timber behaviour… this should be fully understood and expected when buying any timber product for your garden. Sometimes these cracks can open up quite large but remember it is entirely normal and once the inner core has dried the crack will close up. Likewise, as the moisture in the air increases so will the free water absorbed by capillary action in the wood and once again the cracks will close up.
