B.Product & Planed Timber Treatment Colours, Photographs and Images
B. The colours we provide with our planed unseasoned products are light brown, dark brown, grey and clear. These treatments and preservatives are purchased from a 3rd party paint, tint and treatments supplier/manufacturer and are not manufactured, altered or added to by us, therefore, we accept no liability in the change of colours or colour variations. The treatments we use/purchase are delivered to use in large 500-litre IBC tote containers so colours can, will and may vary due to the volumes involved. Also due to photography and image some actual product colours may appear different in “real-time” than that of their photographed counterpart on our website due to various factors but not limited to light, shade, sunlight, external conditions & absorption rates if this is an issue please call into or show and sales site to view products in real-time.
Some of our products on our sales and show site may be entering their 2nd or 3rd season of show, therefore, may appear a different colour to newly purchased, treated and sold product as we treat our products in accordance with our own treatment recommendations & conditions of guarantee i.e treating our timber & show products annually to maintain appearance and to protect and prolong the life of the timbers * this means that some products may have had 2 or 3 “extra” coats giving them a deeper colour than that of a newly treated product counterpart. Timber is also a natural changing product that absorbs treatments at different absorption rates within different areas depending on which part of the tree/log it has been milled from therefore and as such timber products are liable to colour change and variations.
Due to all the above reasons, we cannot guarantee the exactness of our colours*colours variations is liable to occur. *
B.1 Product pictures on this website are for illustrative purposes only, colours and styles may vary. Sizes are approximate and again may vary.
B.2 Acceptance of collection and/or delivery of goods will be regarded as conclusive evidence of the buyer’s acceptance of these terms and conditions.
Damaged or Faulty Goods
Rospal – WE Rosborough LTD undertake to provide products and services of the highest quality and value and will try to rectify any problems should they arise. We request that you read the general points listed below about timbers:
Timber is a natural product that absorbs moistures, paints and treatments at various absorption levels depending on which part of the tree it is milled from causing colour and shade variation when treated with but not limited to solvent, water, oil and PVA based treatments
Timber is a natural material and as such can and will vary in shades and colour and will change again with further weathering.
Pressure-treated products will vary in shades and colour depending on the size/shape of timbers, absorption rates and external factors such as but not limited to materials being manufactured 1,2 (etc) weeks after tanalisation as opposed to 3 weeks and so on. Colour may initially seem a darker/deeper tanalisation these differences will balance out over time and weathering and eventually appear the same.
Shrinkage, expansion and contraction may occur due to seasonal changes and weather.
Heat and humidity may naturally cause splits and cracks (these are called “shakes”) and warping to possible appear. These do not affect the longevity of the product and is not a valid reason for returning products or replacing parts.
Knotts in timber is a natural occurrence, these will vary in size and shape, sometimes they may also dislodge. As stated, this is a natural occurrence and is not a valid reason for returning products or replacing parts.
The green or white marks or “spotting” sometimes appear on a pressure treated, tantalised product is caused by salt resin leaving the timber during and after the pressure treatment process. It will vanish, fade and dissipate over time and does not affect the quality or durability of the product.
All products are handmade or manufactured with the aid of jigs or machinery, small differences may occur.

0.1 The Seller will take all reasonable precautions to keep the details of the Buyer secure. In the absence of negligence on the part of the Seller, the Seller will not be held responsible for any losses caused as a result of unauthorised access to information provided by the Buyer.
P. Planning Permission
This is in no way binding and is dependent on Local Authorities, but may be used as a guide
Applications for approval normally involve a fee, normally related in some way to the value of the development.
Where the development is more than just a simple extension, it is worth considering employing an architect to draw up the plans, submit them to the Local Authority, obtain the approval and then to oversee the work. A professional architect will have professional insurance in case anything should go wrong and should know the Local Officials and their particular foibles.
Every application for Planning Permission or Building Regulations is, to an extent, unique. While the following are general rules, it is impossible to define all the regulations applying to a specific development – Local Authorities have some thick books of rules rather than just these few pages. It is always good advice to consult your local planning/building control officers early to avoid any costly abortive work. If work is carried out without the necessary approvals, the local authority can issue an enforcement notice requiring (at best) retrospective approval or (at worst) demolition of the work completed.
Although the functions of Planning Officials and Building Inspector are separate, the two will often be found in the same building; they are normally very helpful and offer authoritative guidance.
Normally Planning Permission or Building Regulation approval is not required provided that:
Sheds and greenhouses do not cover more than half of the area of the garden; not including the area occupied by the house.
It contains no sleeping accommodation and the floor area does not exceed 15 square metres.
No point is less than one metre from a boundary.
It is not more than 3m high for a flat roof, or 4m with a ridged roof.
Overall height from ground level to ridge must not exceed more than 2.5 metres within a 2-metre range of any boundary. A building with overall height exceeding 2.5 metres in height and placed within 2 metres of any boundary will require planning permission.
Height of the eaves must not exceed 2.5 metres
No part projects beyond any wall of the house that faces a road.
The outbuilding is for use only by those who occupy the house.
A Log Cabin should be more than 5 metres from the main dwelling and up to 50% of the remaining garden can be utilised with this type of building.
No verandas are higher than 30cms from ground level.
Building Regulations do state that structures built of combustible material (i.e. a wooden shed) must be at least 2 metres from the main house.
If at all in doubt contact your local authority for clarification. No charge will be made if no planning permission is required.
