Tips for Using MGE UK’s Larch Battens
For optimal results when installing larch battens, trim both ends to ensure a snug fit for a seamless appearance. We recommend using stainless steel screws or nails to prevent staining from non-stainless fasteners. For best practices in treating or staining, allow the battens to dry fully before application, ideally during the summer months.
