Pressure treated means that the timber has been pressure-treated by being immersed in a liquid preservative (Tanalith) and then placed in a vacuum pressure chamber under controlled conditions. When this process is finished, the timber is able to resist wet and rot.

As any timber left outside in the British climate will show signs of some cracks and warping, if it is Tanalised or pressure treated this will not happen.

Pressure treating the product makes it rot proof and will prolong the life of the product for up to 20 years. This is why ideas-4-pets recommend that you purchase tanalised dog kennels, cat kennels, chicken coops etc. so that their usefulness lasts and lasts.

Will Tanalised dog kennels, cat kennels and chicken coops need treating regularly?

No, Tanalised timber is maintenance free so no annual treatments are required.
