Lifting and Lowering Planks

Lift the planks from the stack in an upright position and be careful not to damage ends/edge when lifting and lowering planks.

Carry the planks with another worker/colleague if needed, holding one end each, with the plank in an upright position to avoid unnecessary flexing of the plank.

General Maintenance & Care

Cleaning

SHERA Floor Planks can be cleaned using warm water and soap with a soft sponge. Cleaning products that contain acid should not be used.


Drainage
Check the application drainage system and water discharge outlets to ensure continuous water discharge beneath the decking system.
Ensure gaps between decking planks are free from mud, sand or leaves or any other source of blockage that may hinder correct drainage.

Mould
Use a wet cloth or soft brush to remove any mould that may have started growing on the decking planks if your decking has been exposed to moisture for a prolonged period.

Decking Furniture

Care should be taken when moving furniture, plant pots or other heavy objects to prevent scratching the plank surface.


Decking Plants
Use plant pot trays with any decking plants in order to prevent permanent exposure to water/damp/mud.


Weeds

If you are installing your decking frame in a garden we recommend using a weed blanket underneath the decking in order to prevent weed growth underneath the decking.
