WHY SHOULD I ORDER 20% MORE WOOD?
Customers should plan on ordering 10-20% more wood because wood is, by nature, imperfect. Prefinished wood will come pre-stained, but wood planks can come with various imperfections like splits ends. It is common that wood be trimmed on site. Rustic wood will have knots, knots are not considered defects.

WHAT IS WOOD ACCLIMATION?
Proper acclimation of your new, pre-weathered wood is imperative. DINGEWOOD ships from UTAH.
Wood is a natural product and will respond to moisture in the air. When your wood arrives, it is very important to allow your wood to acclimate to your specific region, with it's unique humidity.
Allow wood to acclimate 5-7 days to reduce shrinking, warping and cracking.

RUSTIC WOOD QUALITIES
On all wood species, natural variations in the color, texture, and density of the wood are common and always acceptable. Wood stains are tannin reactive and react with tannin in wood to create weathered looks, with natural highs and lows and beautiful color variation. Rustic, knotty wood will have knots and are not considered defects. Location, quantity, and size of knots are unpredictable. Wood may come with split ends, please plan for this by ordering 15-20%.
DOORS: Knots smaller than a nickel will be filled. Larger knots will not be filled and are not considered defects.

HANDLING
- All wood orders are packaged for forklift loading and unloading. Doors come in crates, large orders are palletized and banded together.
- Wood must be stored flat on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated building at least 4” above the ground and covered to avoid direct sunlight, as well as moisture, dirt and dust.
- Do not walk on doors or drag doors across one another, particularly if they include raised molding.
- Wood, especially doors, must not be subject to extreme or rapid changes in heat or humidity, including, without limitation, sudden changes resulting from forced heat used to dry out a building.
HOW TO MEASURE FOR A SLIDING BARN DOOR
- Measure the inside of the opening across for width and from the top of the opening to the floor for height.
- For your sliding barndoor you want to add 1-2 inches above the door opening and you'll want to add 2-4 inches to compensate for both of the sides. That will give you the privacy when the door is shut.
- Add 2″ to 4″ for total door width for overlap depending on privacy needs.
- Also, plan where the top of the door is in relationship to the trim so that there is a spot to mount the track.
- We suggest selecting your sliding barndoor hardware before ordering the door.

Beams damaged during installation are not warrantied. They can be re-ordered at original cost with lead time.

CAN YOU RECOMMEND A LINE OF FINISHES FOR DINGEWOOD WOOD TOUCH UPS?
Yes! We can recommend WOOD STAIN colors for any touch ups needed. Just let us know you need stain when you place your order.
CAN YOU RECOMMEND A LINE OF FINISHES TO SEAL DINGEWOOD PRODUCTS?
You bet! We use oxidative wood stains, so regular topcoats will not do a good job of holding our colors. To best SEAL, PROTECT, & HOLD our colors use Weatherwood Stains line of sealers. [link]
HOW DO I CARE FOR DINGEWOOD PRODUCTS?
Dingewood offers so many different wood products, the care will depend on what is ordered.
- EXTERIORS: For Dingewood exterior wood siding re-coat wood with Weatherwood Stains' Exterior WaterProofer, VOC Free. Siding needs re-coated when water stops beading, or every 5-7 years, whichever comes first.
- FLOORS: For Dingewood polyurethane floors do not require on-going maintenance. Hardwax oiled floors re-oil with Weatherwood Stains' Maintenance Oils. Re-oil every 1-2 years or when needed.
- CABINETS, DOORS, BEAMS, DOORS: Dingewood cabinetry, fixtures, beams and doors should not need recoated, as they were most likely sealed with a Varnish topcoat.
