Therefore, it is important to remove its sap out to reduce the moisture and you can easily do that by doing certain process that will ensure the reduction.

In using air for seasoning of timber cladding, what you have to do first is to stack the woods in such a way that the air can flow freely in between. Cover the ends properly since that part easily dries out and it might leave a non-consistent drying process. Cover the top of the stack as well to keep off the moisture and make sure that the bottom of the pile doesn’t touch the ground since it might accidentally seep off water from the floor.

In using artificial heat for seasoning of timber cladding, it is usually the use of a stove or a kiln to generate heat while using a blower to force hot air to the timber and for most of the time, the woods are moved from one stage to another in order to make sure that the moisture content can be properly attained.
