Caring For Your Structure Wood Structures (Smart Panel) • To prevent leaking and premature aging of your shed, we recommend wood structures be thoroughly prepared before treatment. All joints between wall siding boards, window trim, door trim, corner boards, soffits, fascias, rake trim, vents, and naturally occurring hairline cracks in knots must be properly sealed with high quality caulking prior to treatment. We strongly recommend nail holes in all material types be filled prior to treatment.
